The paper presents results of modelling examination of the seismic monitoring strategy for Stage 2C of the Otway project of the CO2CRC Ltd.
A workflow for building a detailed seismic model was developed and justified.
4D seismic synthetic datasets were created using FDTD approach for an actual field acquisition geometry.
An analysis of the synthetic datasets confirmed detectability of the small CO2 plume in the presence of random bandlimited time-lapse noise.
