A Tool for Integrating and Communicating Performance-Relevant Information in CO2 Storage Projects: Description and Application to In Salah

摘要

Plans for developing a CO2 storage site should be based on transparently assessing all available performance-relevant information. During a storage project planning decisions will need to be taken to reflect evolving understanding due to progressive information acquisition. The decisions and reasons for them must be communicated clearly to stakeholders, to demonstrate progress and build confidence. To help meet these objectives a software tool based on a decision support methodology termed Evidence Support Logic (ESL) was developed during the European Commission (EC)-supported CO2ReMoVe project. The tool was demonstrated by applying it to the In Salah Gas Project in Algeria.
