The authors of this paper show the migration of a CO2 plume within a depleted carbonate reservoir and the expected effects of CO2 saturation and pressure buildups during injection on time lapse 4D seismic for conformance monitoring. -
Carbon capture and storage, with the potential for usage, will be crucial if the world is to prevent global warming. While Norway has been injecting captured CO2 in saline aquifers since the mid-1990s, there has been no attempt, and no plans exist in Europe, to use CO2 for EOR. Why not?
