EAGE, SEG to host CO2 storage research workshop in Trondheim, Norway

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 ).
