... for predicting the response to CO 2 injection. This paper revisits preliminary studies of CO 2 storage in the Nisku saline aquifer in Alberta, Canada, which were conducted to assess CO 2 injectivity, plume migration, and geomechanical response during 50 yr of injection, using model input parameters estimated...

Hydrogeology of the Nisku aquifer. (a) Distribution of hydraulic head (in meters) showing flow from the southeast, southwest, and Bashaw area toward the subcrop area and to the north. The shaded area indicates the region where DFR is greater than 0.5. (b) Salinity distribution (g/L) showing a general updip, northeastward decrease in concentration and low concentrations in the southeast. (c) Bicarbonate distribution (g/L) showing relatively high concentrations in the north and in the southeast.

... through two main aquifers. One is the Cooking Lake-Leduc aquifer that underlies and comprises the Rimbey-Meadowbrook trend, where fluids migrate laterally northward. The other is the Bashaw reef complex, where fluids move vertically upward across the Ireton aquitard and into the overlying Nisku aquifer...

..., through the overlying Ireton aquitard, and into the Nisku aquifer. Numerous smaller oil plumes coalesce in the Nisku aquifer and continue to migrate vertically up into the Mannville Group aquifer. The results have four implications for hydrocarbon exploration: (1) the formation of saline plumes above...

Map view showing the extent of the Nisku Formation saline aquifer in westcentral Alberta. The dashed yellow box in the lower left corner shows the model domain used for the work presented in this paper, and the red dot shows the location of the injection well. The red dashed box delineates a portion of the reservoir that was not used in the model developed in this work.

... into the Devonian Nisku carbonate aquifer suggest that dissolution and residual saturation of CO 2 limit the lateral CO 2 plume spread considerably. Hypothetical injection of 12.5 million tonnes/yr of CO 2 for 30 yr would result in a maximum plume spread of less than 15 km (9 mi) in diameter. However, multiple...

... in the Nisku aquifer in the area is indeed fresher to the southwest, still in the 150,000+ mg/L range, but this is interpreted by Michael et al.

The Nisku Formation is a normally pressured unit where fluid pressures increase systematically with depth in areally extensive carbonates and overpressured zones are restricted to locally developed shale basins. Gas columns have associated downdip aquifers, and water becomes increasingly fresh to the west...

...N.R. Watts; J.L. Douglas; M.P. Coppold The Bigoray Nisku “C” pool and the Pembina Nisku “L” pool are two examples that illustrate the sedimentology, diagenesis and reservoir geology of the important West Pembina reef fairway. The Bigoray Nisku “C” pool is a partially dolomitized reef, measures 1.1...
