Laboratory experiments were conducted to measure gas permeability and P-wave velocity under hydrostatic pressure in Shirahama and Tako sandstones with porosity of 12“ and 24“, respectively. In dry samples, gas permeability and P-wave velocity were significantly changed with increasing hydrostatic pressure in Shirahama sandstoneCas a result of the closure of micropores with low aspect ratio, while in Tako sandstone they were less affected. In water-saturated sample, velocity changes caused by CO2 injection, are typically on the order of -6%. P-wave velocities decreased almost simultaneously along horizontal paths in two orthogonal directions. Results of P-wave velocity tomography suggested that cross-well seismic profiling is useful to monitor migrations of the
lnjected CO2 in geological sequestration sites.
