E014 CO2 Thin Beds Imaging Using Full Waveform Inversion–Applications to Synthetic and Real Time–Lapse Data A. Gosselet* (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP)) & S.C. Singh (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris) SUMMARY Global warming attributed to the greenhouse gas effect has generated growing interest in geological sequestration of CO2 over the past decade. Seismic monitoring is a key process in the strategy to reduce atmospheric CO2 emissions from a security standpoint and for sequestration optimization itself. Application of time domain full wave form inversion is proposed to estimate subsurface elastic properties using time-lapse data. The method
