Over time, greater saturation is seen across the perforations (red) No CO 2 is seen within the Bois Blanc Across from the upper velocity decrease, gas again is detected (not shown) Repeat PNC Logging Monitoring Well Time-lapsed PNC logging does not show CO 2 making it to the perforations in the monitoring well, but does show it higher along the wellbore Consistent with the crosswell, fluid sampling and pressure analyses. Cement Evaluation Cement bond log indicated a gap in cement across from the upper velocity decrease Over time, the cement bond log indicated an apparent change in the cement both above and below the decrease Cement samples were taken from two locations in the well The sample in the interval the CBL indicated had poor quality cement was carbonated cement The lower sample in the interval the CBL indicated had high quality cement was non-altered, high quality cement A fluid sample taken from the interval with the velocity decrease was analyzed to be over 99% CO 2 . STOMPCO2 simulations were calibrated to test data to improve model capabilities and demonstrate confidence in reservoir models. Preliminary Modeling Based on Regional Data Site Drilling & Testing Site Specific Modeling Calibration to Monitoring Data Model refined at every stage of the project. Additional changes still needed to incorporate migration in Bois Blanc zone.
