• Abstract summary: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays an essential role in global decarbonization. Scaling up CCS deployment requires accurate and high-resolution modeling of the storage reservoir pressure buildup and the gaseous plume migration. We introduce Nested Fourier Neural Operator (FNO), a machine-learning framework for high-resolution dynamic 3D CO2 storage modeling at a basin scale.

• Abstract: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays an essential role in global decarbonization. Scaling up CCS deployment requires accurate and high-resolution modeling of the storage reservoir pressure buildup and the gaseous plume migration. However, such modeling is very challenging at scale due to the high computational costs of existing numerical methods. This challenge leads to significant uncertainties in evaluating storage opportunities, which can delay the pace of large-scale CCS deployment. We introduce Nested Fourier Neural Operator (FNO), a machine-learning framework for high-resolution dynamic 3D CO2 storage modeling at a basin scale. Nested FNO produces forecasts at different refinement levels using a hierarchy of FNOs and speeds up flow prediction nearly 700,000 times compared to existing methods. By learning the solution operator for the family of governing partial differential equations, Nested FNO creates a general-purpose numerical simulator alternative for CO2 storage with diverse reservoir conditions, geological heterogeneity, and injection schemes. Our framework enables unprecedented real-time modeling and probabilistic simulations that can support the scale-up of global CCS deployment.

  Geological carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a promising and scalable approach for reducing global emissions. If done incorrectly, it may lead to earthquakes and leakage of CO$$ back to the surface, harming both humans and the environment. We propose that CCS operations be modeled as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) and decisions be informed using automated planning algorithms.

  We introduce Hybrid Graph Network Simulator (HGNS) for learning reservoir simulations of 3D subsurface fluid flows. HGNS consists of a subsurface graph neural network (SGNN) to model the evolution of fluid flows, and a 3D-U-Net to model the evolution of pressure. Using an industry-standard subsurface flow dataset (SPE-10) with 1.1 million cells, we demonstrate that HGNS is able to reduce the inference time up to 18 times compared to standard subsurface simulators.
