Abstract

Within the Skagerrak-Kattegat region up to 14 Mt of CO2 can annually be captured from power and industry sources. To establish a CCS infrastructure in the region it is necessary to identify and characterize potential CO2 storage sites. Initial screening of the region has revealed large aquifers in the Upper Triassic Gassum Formation. In dynamic simulation studies 250 Mt of CO2 were injected into the Gassum Formation over a period of 25 years. Identification and analysis of parameters that affect CO2 storage capacity were performed. Parameters important for the migration speed and the dissolution rate of CO2 in open dipping aquifers were investigated by a series of simulations on generic tilted reservoir models.
