Abstract

Based on the latest data-assimilation and machine-learning techniques, Digital Twins (DTs) have shown promise for high-fidelity monitoring and control of underground CO2​ storage. While the use of these techniques have important advantages, they do rely on certain assumptions. If these assumptions are not met, the DT’s neural networks may no longer infer the state of the CO2 plume (pressure/saturation) accurately. By augmenting the forecast ensemble, we address this issue.
