Abstract:
The CO2SINK Integrated Project aims at in-situ testing of geological storage of CO2 in a saline aquifer. A field laboratory is developed with one injection well and two observation wells (50 m and 100 m distance). Focus of the project is on monitoring the fate of the injected CO2 using a broad range of geophysical, geochemical and microbiological techniques. Injection of CO2 in a depth of approximately 650 m started end of June 2008 and arrival has been determined in the nearer observation well as expected and predicted after an amount of 531 t CO2.
