Another pressure plot without values
It is the third time in a matter of a few months that a pressure plot was shown during a carbon storage presentation without values on the vertical axis –…
Carbon Capture & Storage
Producing shale gas through the injection of CO2
If the people living in New York’s Southern Tier thought that shale gas production is not going happen in their backyard because of the ban on using water for fracking,…
Are we moving into the age of the pore space paradox?
Whilst the people at E3 Lithium in Canada will no doubt support the road to Net Zero, they were not very pleased to see the company Enhance receiving a permit…
A geologists’ paradise
The hotel kindly hosting the Aberdeen evening lectures organised by the GESGB should have looked at the programme before deciding not to man the bar last night. The talk was…
Wind and solar energy – temporarily stored in a salt cavern
One of the major challenges for the energy transition is the storage of excess energy that can be used at times when the wind does not blow or the sun…
The race for pressure space
Another pressure plot without values on the Y-axis! That’s what I thought when watching Eirik Jenssen’s presentation at the Dig X Conference in Oslo yesterday. Eirik works as a Reservoir…
“It is important to embrace what matters in other subsurface realms”
“Having worked in oil and gas for years, I was convinced I knew how to drill a well”, Rodney Garrard says. “Then I moved to Switzerland to join NAGRA, the…
A room full of the best intentions
London, Thursday 14 December, GESGB CCS Symposium. I must admit that I’m getting a bit tired of the ongoing CO2 storage discussions. Why? Because I feel that we keep on…
“I think it is going to be mission impossible”
“The key challenge when it comes to storing CO2 is containment”, says Raffik Lazar, CEO of Dubai-based GeomodL International. “And the only element I can trust in the containment scenario…
Carbon storage in Leman – how feasible is that?
The first thing that probably springs to mind when thinking about CO2 injection into the Leman gas field in the UK Southern North Sea is the high number of wells…
Europe’s first full-scale onshore CO2 storage project
Gas Storage Denmark (GSD) is currently in the detailed engineering phase of Europe’s first large-scale, commercially operational onshore CO2 storage facility (CO2RYLUS). This initiative aims to accelerate the development of…
Exploring CO2 storage efficiency: striving for clarity
Prior to building a full 3D model of a carbon store, the mass of CO2 that can be stored in a reservoir can be calculated by multiplying the pore volume by the…
