This document introduces some of JOE's initiatives related to CCS/CCUS. CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage) is a technology that allows for the long-term and stable storage of CO2 by separating and capturing CO2 emitted from power plants and factories and injecting it underground. Additionally, CCUS (Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage) refers to the effective utilization of the separated and captured CO2 for enhanced oil and gas production and other purposes. It is gaining attention as an effective technology for combating global warming. We encourage you to read it. 【Contents】 ■ System evaluation using an integrated CCS model: P1 ■ Risk analysis of CO2 leakage: P2 ■ Sensitivity analysis and uncertainty analysis of input parameters: P3 ■ History matching incorporating seismic data: P5 ■ Mineral fixation simulation in CCS: P7 ■ Support for building a blue ammonia (blue hydrogen) supply chain utilizing CCUS: P9 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The risk analysis of CO2 leakage to the surface during and after CO2 injection is important for evaluating safety. It is necessary to examine the presence of faults and abandoned wells, as well as the appropriate injection pressure, and to conduct simulations that consider the impact not only on the reservoir but also on the cap rock. By coupling rock mechanics models with reservoir simulators, it is possible to perform calculations that take into account the effects of pressure changes on the geomechanical properties of the reservoir. For example, in GEM, a modified Barton-Bandis model is applied to simulate the opening and closing of fractures and calculate CO2 leakage from the cap rock. Our company is primarily investigating and examining the following items, focusing on calculations using the reservoir simulator GEM and literature research. [Investigation and Examination Items] ■ Examination of the workflow for creating simulation input data from experimental, analytical, and literature data. ■ Examination of the workflow for CO2 leakage risk analysis that reflects the uncertainty analysis of input data. ■ Investigation of the workflow for CO2 leakage calculations in various reservoir simulators. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

It takes hundreds to thousands of years to mineralize a large amount of CO2, and it is known that depending on the mineral composition of the reservoir, the amount of mineralization may not be significant. Recently, however, there are methods like the Carbfix project that allow for mineralization within basalt in just a few years. To estimate the amount of mineralization and the time required for it, CO2 flow simulations that include geochemical reaction calculations (possible with simulators like GEM and TOUGH-REACT) are necessary. In addition to the usual CO2 flow calculations, solving for parameters related to geochemical reactions can lead to a large number of unknowns, resulting in high computational costs and difficulties in convergence. Furthermore, the input data for geochemical reaction calculations often includes highly uncertain factors such as the reactive surface area of minerals, making sensitivity analysis and uncertainty analysis effective. Based on the above, JOE primarily uses the reservoir simulator GEM to investigate and examine the following items: [Investigation and Examination Items] - Setting appropriate chemical reaction data for simulation convergence - Setting chemical reaction equations and evaluating the uncertainty of input data related to chemical reactions - Examining issues in scaling up from experimental data to reservoir data

To understand the distribution of injected CO2 within the reservoir, 4D seismic surveys conducted with tools like slipmeters are promising as monitoring technology. History matching of reservoir models incorporating 4D seismic data has been carried out since the late 1990s and remains a focus of attention today. When quantitatively comparing seismic data with reservoir simulation results, the large volume of data necessitates the use of automated history matching methods. In setting the objective function for automated history matching, it is essential to compare seismic data and reservoir simulation results on the same level, which requires data transformation using Rock Physics Models (RPM) or seismic models. Based on the above, JOE is investigating and examining the following items primarily through literature review: [Investigation and Examination Items] ■ Methods for creating proxy models and automated history matching using them ■ Workflow for formulating mismatches between seismic data and reservoir simulation results as an objective function ■ Examination and comparison of various workflows for history matching, including differences in automated history matching methods ■ Investigation and examination of various optimization methods
