Salt Modeling for Hydrogen Storage using Aspen SeisEarth and Aspen SKUA
Generating an accurate interpretation and model of the subsurface is a crucial step in optimizing hydrogen storage in salt formations and improving our understanding of the salt structure and properties for cavern leaching. The objective of this training is to provide you with the skills to effectively use the tools available in Aspen SeisEarth and Aspen SKUA for interpreting and modeling salt surfaces. You will be introduced to various methods for creating 3D structural models with salt and modeling properties. By following one of these methods, you will create a facies model within the salt intrusion. |
Audience:
Geoscientists, geologists, or other technical personnel interested in using Aspen SeisEarth and Aspen SKUA for interpreting and creating salt models for hydrogen storage. |

Agenda
Case Study 1: Salt Interpretation (using multi-value horizon) and Surface Building in Aspen SeisEarth § Load and review seismic data in Aspen SeisEarth § Pick the salt as a multi-value horizon § Add multi-directional picks § Use mistie reports to QC and correct intersecting picks § Create a T-Surface from the polylines Case Study 2: Picking Salt using Single and Multi-Value Horizons in Aspen SeisEarth § Use the propagator to pick single-value regions of a horizon § Grid the single-value picks, then create a T-Surface § Create a T-Surface from multi-value horizon § Combine the single-value and multi-value T-Surfaces Creating a Salt Surface in Aspen SKUA from the Picks you Interpreted in Aspen SeisEarth § Learn about one of the methods available in Aspen SKUA for building complex surfaces (from a set of curves) § Create a salt surface from the picks interpreted in Aspen SeisEarth § Improve the salt surface Building a SKUA Structural Model with Salt § Learn about the two methods available in Aspen SKUA for building a 3D structural model with salt § Prepare and classify data for modeling § Define the volume of interest for building a 3D sealed structural model § Model the horizons and salt § Build the geologic grid Facies Modeling in the Salt using Aspen SKUA § Learn about the challenges when building property models in complex structures § Create a Voxet (regular grid) as the support for geostatistics § Transfer the facies data from the logs to the voxet § Create the parametric coordinates for running geostatistics in the voxet § Model the salt facies using Sequential Indicator Simulator (SIS) Modeling Salt Caverns in Aspen SKUA § Learn about a new method for modeling complex surfaces in Aspen SKUA (from data points) § Build the salt cavern surfaces |
