Monitoring Techniques Applied for CO2 Injection in Coal

A018 Monitoring techniques applied for CO2 injection in coal Abstract 1 To demonstrate that CO2 injection in coal under European conditions is feasible and that CO2 storage is a safe and permanent solution and that coal bed methane can be produced in the same process the EC funded RECOPOL project is being carried out. In order to improve the understanding of storage in coal to verify that safety and environment are not jeopardised and to determine that the CO2 is injected into the intended coal layers an extensive monitoring programme is applied. This monitoring programme is based on FEP analyses
