Join us for our next technical luncheon taking place on May 7 from 11:45- 1:00 pm at the Calgary Petroleum Club. Integrated Sustainability will be presenting on Drought Adaptation Planning - Strategic Water Sourcing: 6 Alternatives for Basin Shutdowns. Practical implementation strategies to proactively tailor operations for adaptability in the face of imminent drought conditions. Alberta and British Columbia are expected to experience severe drought conditions in the spring and summer of 2024, with water scarcity challenges predicted well into 2025. Water availability across several basins will be limited, and diversion restrictions for new allocations will likely be established. If your operations heavily rely on surface water, it's crucial to develop alternative plans in the event of prolonged drought conditions leading to basin closures. This presentation will provide an overview of six strategic water sourcing alternatives to prepare for basin shutdowns.

“Coldwater pool status … in California’s largest reservoir” End of May storage in Shasta Reservoir was 4,297,900 acre-feet (AF) representing about 94% of total reservoir storage capacity and 119% of the 15-year average for this date. The reservoir gained 469,564 AF over the past month (from computed inflow), but released almost 502,000 AF through its power penstocks, with an additional 18,171 AF released through its outlets. Given this WY’s robust “wet” season, it is both rare and welcome that res-ops are blessed with such a plentiful coldwater reserve. See below the water temperature profile at the reservoir’s TCD as of May 29 and its relation to the various elevational outlets/gates.

In the Tordis Field (Norwegian sector, North Sea) oily water was injected for disposal into a shallow aquifer thought to be the Utsira Sands, a well-known, good-quality reservoir. However, a miscorrelation incorrectly identified the intended storage reservoir. It was not the Utsira, which was later determined to be absent due to a pinch-out. Instead, the water was injected into a sand lens within the overlying Nordland Group (denoted by a star at the Tordis well location in the Figure below). Because this lens had a limited volume, reservoir pressure increased rapidly during injection and the seal was breached resulting in fluid escape and the leakage of oily water upward to the seafloor. This leakage created a crater 30-40 meters across and 7 meters deep on the seabed. In the wake of this, because the Utsira Sands are the CO2 storage reservoir at the Sleipner carbon storage project, environmental organizations began questioning the security of storing CO2 in the Utsira Sands. Not only does this case study illustrate how we can misinterpret the target injection reservoir and its potential impacts, but it also demonstrates how the failure of one project can implicate others.

Here is the latest in our blog series on CCS risk and uncertainty. THe link to the whole set is included. The next chapter will be posted tomorrow, Tuesday. Understanding issues that have occurred is a good way to anticipate and mitigate risks in a new project.

Accurate geological chronostratigraphic correlation is a key to the success of CCS and CCUS. With so much at stake for CCS projects, the risks and consequences of a miscorrelation are huge. #CCS #netzero #geology #chronostratigraphy #biostratigraphy #timecorrelation
