Abstract
Studies have shown that it may be possible to store large amounts of CO2 on the Norwegian continental shelf. A team in Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has, during the last two years, interpreted relevant data on the Norwegian Continental shelf in order to classify potential storage sites. A Simulation model of the The Nordland ridge Åre formation was built for the purpose of assessing its CO2 storage potential. The modeled Nordland Ridge is a closed structure with CO2 storage potentials in two dome like structural highs. The main simulation cases inject 2 mill Sm3 CO2/day (daily rate of 1/5000 of total volume). The simulated injection period last 50 years, and simulation then continues for 1 000 years to check the long term CO2 migration effects.
