System to control and optimize the injection of co2 and real time monitoring of co2 plume leaks

Abstract

Injection of COmay be controlled and optimized, and COplume leaks monitored in real time, using a controlled sleeve system deployed into a well, where the controlled sleeve system comprises a predetermined set of ports extending from an outer surface of a substantially tubular housing through to an inner annulus of the housing and one or more selectively actuated sliding sleeves configured to selectively open, occlude, and close the predetermined set of ports. One or more sensors configured to be deployed in the well may be present. A wireless remotely actuated flow controller disposed at least partially within the housing and operatively in communication with the sensor comprises a sleeve actuator controller operatively connected to the selectively actuated sliding sleeve and a sensor data acquisition module operatively in communication with the sensor. A communications module is operatively in communication with the wireless remote actuated flow controller. Power may be supplied via a power supply operatively in communication with the wireless remote actuated flow controller, the communications module, and the sensor. The controlled sleeve system is placed into communication with a surface control system disposed proximate a surface location of the well and COinjected into a geological formation of the well, at least partially through the controlled sleeve system. The surface system is used to selectively actuate the selectively actuated sleeve to selectively choke, occlude, and permit the flow of CO.
