10. VOLUMETRICS Volumetric estimation of mass of the injected CO 2 visible in seismic data will be performed using - average values of CO 2 saturation in reservoir obtained for every well of the Ketzin site with a) Pulsed Neutron-Gamma Well Logging; b) Multiphase Flow Modeling; - average CO 2 density calculated with a) measured temperature and pressure in reservoir at the injection site (in the injection well) to the time of the repeat survey; b) from Multiphase Flow Modeling for every well of the Ketzin site. Results show that we can see approximately the same quantity of the injected CO 2 in the time-lapse seismic data : a) Pulsed Neutron-Gamma Well Logging (~ 94%); b) Multiphase Flow Modeling (~91%).

15. 1.Results of seismic interpretation and petrophysical data allowed a satisfactory CO 2 mass estimation (91%-94% mass of injected CO 2 to the time of the repeat survey) using values of CO 2 saturation derived by a) Pulsed Neutron-Gamma Logging; b)Multiphase-Flow Modeling; and average CO 2 density calculated with a)measured temperature and pressure in reservoir at the injected site (in the injected well) to the time of the repeat survey; b)Multiphase Flow Modeling for every well of the Ketzin site. 2. Consequences for seismic data of CO 2 effect on seismic velocities in reservoir rock (petrophysics) will be illustrated on synthetic seismic models. 3. Predicted distributions will be used to generate synthetic seismic data that will be compared directly to seismic field data. Summary and Outlook
