Understanding small changes in the chemistry of subsurface fluids at the Aquistore site will help scientists better understand the effect of injected CO2 on the rock and liquids 3.4 km down – crucial research for confirming the predictability and safety of CO2 storage worldwide. Just 150 metres away from the Aquistore CO2 injection well, an observation well drilled to the same 3.4 km depth…

This week, the Aquistore site is busy with the deployment and acquisition of three dimensional (3D) seismic over the injection area as well as a vertical seismic profile (VSP) around the injection well. Seismic imaging of the CO2 injected into the Aquistore well is a critical component of the monitoring program.  “Before injection started, our researchers developed a predictive…
