EAGE, SEG to host CO_2 storage research workshop in Trondheim, Norway

摘要

Geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO_2) has long been considered an important component of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation (Pacala and Socolow, 2004). Industry experience with CO_2 injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) (since the 1970s) and CO_2 storage in saline formations (since 1996) has produced a strong foundation of knowledge for improving and refining CO_2 storage technology. There are many technical challenges at geologic storage sites that require geophysical measurements and monitoring. These challenges include initial site assessment; assuring that injectivity and capacity predictions are reliable; confirming that the fate and configuration of the CO_2 plume is acceptable; and that regulatory permitting and compliance is accomplished in a timely manner (e.g., CSFL, 2013; Dixon and Romanak, 2015).
