Research progress on air-space-ground-well integrated monitoring technology for CO2 leakage in geological sequestration

Abstract

Abstract: As a key component of CCUS technology,CO₂ geological sequestration leakage risk isdirectly tied to storage and environmental safety.Systematic research on identifying multi-medium leakage pathways and coordinated monitoring technology is crucial to ensure the long-term reliability of carbon storage projects.Accordingly,based on potential leakage mechanisms in typical storage media(depleted oil/gas reservoirs,deep saline aquifers,deep coal seams) a systematic review was made concerning air-space-ground-well integrated monitoring technologies.On this basis,a multi-scale coordinated monitoring framework and a machine-learning-driven data synchronization analysis system were established,integrating airborne and satellite networking,multi-parameter surface data fusion,and three-dimensional subsurface well monitoring.The results indicated that the integrated air-space-ground-well monitoring system could achieve comprehensive multi-parameter detection and early warning of CO₂ leakage;through multi-source data fusion and intelligent analysis,the accuracy and timeliness of CO₂ leakage detection were greatly improved,providing tailored monitoring solutions for different geological storage conditions.This study presents a smart monitoring theoretical framework and technical approach for carbon sequestration aligned with carbon-neutrality goals,offering important scientific basis and technical support for the safe implementation and standardization of large-scale CCUS projects.
