Evaluation of CO2 Storage possibilities on The Norwegian Continental Shelf

AbstractTo get an overview of the possibility to inject and store CO2 in a safe and effective way offshore Norway, possible storage sites has been mapped and evaluated. A total of 27 geological formations have been individually assessed, and grouped into saline aquifers together with several mapped and dry-drilled structures. The evaluation of geological volumes suitable for injecting and storing CO2 can be viewed as a step-wise approximation which is presented with a pyramid representing the maturity of the storage sites. The assessed aquifers have been characterized according to the guidelines, which have been developed for this study
