| contents | To meet climate targets, the IPCC underscores the necessity of technologies capable of removing gigatonnes of CO2 annually, with Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) playing a central role. GCS involves capturing CO2 and injecting it into deep geological formations for long-term storage, requiring precise monitoring to ensure containment and prevent leakage. Time-lapse seismic imaging is essential for tracking CO2 migration but often struggles to capture the complexities of multi-phase subsurface flow. Digital Shadows (DS), leveraging machine learning-driven data assimilation techniques such as nonlinear Bayesian filtering and generative AI, provide a more detailed, uncertainty-aware monitoring approach. By incorporating uncertainties in reservoir properties, DS frameworks improve CO2 migration forecasts, reducing risks in GCS operations. However, data assimilation depends on assumptions regarding reservoir properties, rock physics models, and initial conditions, which, if inaccurate, can compromise prediction reliability. This study demonstrates that augmenting forecast ensembles with diverse rock physics models mitigates the impact of incorrect assumptions and improves predictive accuracy, particularly in differentiating uniform versus patchy saturation models. |
