Abstract

LBr-1 is a small depleted hydrocarbon field in the Czech part of the Vienna Basin. Within REPP-CO2, a Czech-Norwegian research project, a consortium of 7 partners is making the first steps towards obtaining a storage permit and realization of CO2 injection in future. The work includes collecting the necessary data; conducting laboratory investigations; constructing a three-dimensional geological model of the storage complex, developing dynamic models to be used for simulation of the CO2 injection phase and post-injection one; executing a risk analysis, and compiling a monitoring plan. The project represents the first step in development of the LBr-1 site towards a research CO2 storage pilot in the Czech Republic. Fundamental milestones of site assessment, site characterisation, CO2 injection simulation and risk analysis have been achieved, and plans for further stages of site development have been elaborated. The work is now continuing within the ENOS project funded by the EC within the Horizon 2020 programme, with the final vision to start CO2 injection around 2020.
