One-Liner
Modeling carbon storage operations as a POMDP to show how different monitoring strategies can influence decision quality. Evalutae
Novelty
Applying POMDP to the task of carbon capture monitor planning.
Notable Methods
POMDP formulation
- Solver: POMCPOW
- Reward: trapped, free, and exited Co2
- Action: injector placement
- Observation: CO2 saturation
- Belief: the permeability of the rock
POMDP Solution: particle filter tree.
Experimental design validated by simulations of CO2 sperad through injectors
Fourier Network Simulation
The actual fluid dynamics is really really hard to solve. As such, we do the evaluation over a lot of scenarios and then train a neural network to act as surrogate.
