Gas leakage recognition for CO2 geological sequestration based on the time series neural network

The leakage of stored and transported CO2is a risk for geological sequestration technology. One of the most challenging problems is to recognize and determine CO2leakage signal in the complex atmosphere background. In this work, a time series model was proposed to forecast the atmospheric CO2variation and the approximation error of the model was utilized to recognize the leakage. First, the fitting neural network trained with recently past CO2data was applied to predict the daily atmospheric CO2. Further, the recurrent nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input(NARX) model was adopted to get more accurate prediction. Compared with fitting neural network, the approximation errors of NARX have a clearer baseline, and the abnormal leakage signal can be seized more easily even in small release cases. Hence, the fitting approximation of time series prediction model is a potential excellent method to capture atmospheric abnormal signal for CO2storage and transportation technologies.
