Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of carbon sequestration technology, and in particular to a seismic exploration method and apparatus for carbon sequestration sites. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon dioxide sequestration refers to the process of injecting captured carbon dioxide into deep saline aquifers, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and other geological bodies below the ground through engineering techniques, thereby achieving long-term isolation of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through structural strata sequestration and other methods. Depending on the sequestration location, it can be divided into terrestrial sequestration and marine sequestration, and is one of the important means to reduce greenhouse gas content and mitigate the greenhouse effect.

[0003] Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CO2 capture, utilization, and storage) is a complex and unique industrial system. CO2 emission sources and storage sites are often located in different areas, and storage projects are costly to construct and difficult to modify once completed. Therefore, seismic exploration for appropriate CO2 geological storage sites is crucial. Current seismic exploration methods rely heavily on professional experience and are highly subjective, resulting in low site selection efficiency and limited applicability. Summary of the Invention
