| Abstract | Aquistore is a carbon storage research and monitoring project in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada, which intends to demonstrate that storing carbon dioxide (CO2) in the deep underground is a safe, workable
solution to reduce greenhouse gases. Aquistore receives carbon dioxide transported by pipeline from the nearby Boundary Dam coal-fired power plant and injects it into the deepest saline formation of the Williston Basin at a 3200-m depth. The
Aquistore site is located in a region reclaimed after open-pit coal mining that was continued until the 1990s. To characterize ground conditions and anthropogenic features of the Aquistore area, we used a RapidEye Constellation optical image. In this
study we detect, evaluate, and interpret the background surface changes using RADARSAT-2 satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data prior to carbon dioxide injection. We have applied
Multidimensional Small Baseline Subset Differential Interferometric SAR (MSBAS-DInSAR) to measure ground motion due to postmining processes and geomorphological changes during the period of June 2012 to October 2014. Four RADARSAT-2 beam modes were
used to compute MSBAS-DInSAR deformation maps and time series of horizontal and vertical deformation rate components with high precision and spatial resolution. MSBAS-DInSAR deformation rates for selected sites were combined with LiDAR
geomorphometric profiles to analyze dynamics of the motion. In order to detect seasonal surface changes, polarimetric analysis of RADARSAT-2 quad-pol images acquired during spring and summer of 2014 was performed. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
Aquistore is a Carbon Capture and Storage research and monitoring project in Saskatchewan, Canada, which intends to demonstrate that storing liquid
carbon dioxide (CO2) deep underground is a safe, workable solution to reduce greenhouse gases. In this paper we recognized, evaluated and interpreted the background surface changes using RADARSAT-2 satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and
airborne Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data prior to carbon dioxide injection. As we observed in this study, Aquistore site is relatively stable with the presence of very slow ground surface deformation related to geomorphological and seasonal
changes and anthropogenic processes that do not present a risk for injection operation. |
