Project Summary

Otway Stage 3 consists of drilling four deviated monitoring wells for the CO2 plume injected from CRC-3. It plans to validate various monitoring alternatives, provide workflows for monitoring design, monitoring operations, and effective data processing and interpretation The outcomes will provide reduced cost and reduced impact subsurface monitoring technologies and workflows, including subsurface multi-well 4D VSP, pressure inversion, earth-tide response and pressure tomography. It plans to ensure low cost, long term tool performance and reliability, and address operational challenges relating to environmental and socio-political impacts and location access challenges.
