Abstract

Crosswell CASSM data was acquired as part of the Frio‐II brine pilot injection experiment. To gain insight into the plume evolution, we have integrated the 3D multiphase flow modeling code TOUGH2 to synthetic seismic codes via a petrophysical model based on White's patchy saturation model. Results of forward modeling of the CASSM data show that the initial flow model did not capture the plume dynamics. Updates of the TOUGH2 model required to better match the CASSM data indicate vertical flow near the injection well, with horizontal plume growth occurring at the top of the reservoir sand.
