Sentence examples for above zone from inspiring English sources

It is generally believed that "above zone" monitoring is the best approach to account for the containment of CO2 in the subsurface, because very small releases of stored CO2 will yield large signals.

Components of that engineered geologic system include the storage reservoir, overlying aquitards (primary caprock and secondary seals) and aquifers (including the above zone monitoring interval, or AZMI, directly overlying the primary seal), and potential leakage pathways including wells, fractures, and faults.

Each zone is presented as 10 degrees colder than the zone above: Zone 6 is zero to minus 10; Zone 5 is minus 10 to minus 20, etc.

The time required to distinguish between above zone pressure outcomes and the associated leakage scenarios is also computed.

Based on Bayesian classification theory, the probability of each fractured caprock scenario given above zone pressure measurements with measurement error is inferred.

In our study area, the resistive zone R above zone C2 may play an important role as a cap rock that defines the upper boundary of C2.

We determine the potential accuracy in estimating the size and location of leaks in the caprock by history-matching above-zone pressure monitoring data to leakage models.

The above-zone pressure monitoring gives no hints to any hydraulic connection or CO2 leakage through or failure of the cap rock.

The experimental configuration simulates a miniature geologic storage repository consisting of three layers (i.e., injection zone, caprock, and above-zone aquifer).

At the earliest time, the permeability of the leakage pathway had a sufficiently high influence on the above-zone pressure (i.e., the change in pressure in an aquifer overlying the sealing formation) allowing for adequate determination of leakage risk.

Results from several examples indicate that as little as 6 12 months of above-zone pressure monitoring data, collected from at least 3 or 4 wells, may be sufficient to locate and estimate the size of a leak to inform mitigation and remediation strategies.
