SLEIPNER VEST CO_2 DISPOSAL-INJECTION OF REMOVED CO_2 INTO THE UTSIRA FORMATION

摘要

Production from the Sleipner Vest Field, containing up to 9,5% CO_2, starts October 1, 1996. The Sleipner Vest gas will be delivered under the Troll Gas Sales Agreements, and hence has to meet the sales specification of maximum 2,5% by volume CO_2 in the gas. The amount of removed CO_2 would be approximately 1 million metric ton per year. For environmental reasons the CO_2 will be injected into an underground aquifer.
