摘要：

Geomechanical testing and modeling is one of the primary characterization activities employed at the Zama acid gas EOR, CO2 sequestration, and monitoring project. Program components include laboratory tests, log analysis, field stress testing, and numerical modeling to establish the overall integrity of the system. Initial results from this program indicate that the cap rock has a high mechanical strength, high stiffness, low compressibility, and very low permeability. These results demonstrate that the injection zone and cap rock at the F-Pool pinnacle reef have suitable characteristics for the long-term containment of acid gas. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
