Abstract

A method for sequestering carbon dioxide (CO) in a formation includes providing an injection well extending into the formation, injecting a tracer into the injection well to the formation, collecting the tracer at a surface of the formation, obtaining tracer data from the collected tracer, determining, by a computer system, a geological property with the obtained tracer data and a history matching algorithm, and optimizing a COinjection rate for COsequestration in the formation based on the determined geological property. A system for COsequestration and determining geological properties of a formation includes an injection well extending from a surface into a formation, an injection system in fluid communication with the injection well, a production well, a tracer detection system located at the surface, and a control system coupled to the tracer detection system and configured to sequester COin the formation.
