Abstract

With the growing global deployment of carbon capture and sequestration technology to combat climate change, monitoring and detection of potential CO$_2$ leakage through existing or storage induced faults are critical to the safe and long-term viability of the technology. Recent work on time-lapse seismic monitoring of CO$_2$ storage has shown promising results in its ability to monitor the growth of the CO$_2$ plume from surface recorded seismic data. However, due to the low sensitivity of seismic imaging to CO$_2$ concentration, additional developments are required to efficiently interpret the seismic images for leakage. In this work, we introduce a binary classification of time-lapse seismic images to delineate CO$_2$ plumes (leakage) using state-of-the-art deep learning models. Additionally, we localize the leakage region of CO$_2$ plumes by leveraging Class Activation Mapping (CAM) methods.
