Design and Implementation of a Scalable, Automated, Semi-permanent Seismic Array for Detecting CO2 Extent During Geologic CO2 Injection.

A proof-of-concept demonstration using a scalable, automated, semipermanent, seismic array (SASSA) is being conducted to test a novel seismic method for detecting and tracking an injected CO 2 plume as it traverses discreet points within a reservoir in southeastern Montana at Bell Creek oil field which is undergoing commercial CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This document serves to describe the technical design of the project infrastructure, the operational approach, corresponding data collection, and data-processing activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
