The Effect of CO2 Solubility on the Long Term Fate of CO2 Stored in a Water Saturated Subsurface Storage Location

F047 The Effect of CO2 Solubility on the Long Term Fate of CO2 Stored in a Water Saturated Subsurface Storage Location L.G.H. van der Meer* (TNO) SUMMARY EAGE 68 th Conference & Exhibition — Vienna Austria 12 - 15 June 2006 Summary and Introduction CO2 storage in aquifers is an attractive solution to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The successful example of CO2 storage in the Sleipner injection project proves that large volumes of CO2 can be stored in a subsurface water-bearing formation. In general we know that the most of the injected CO2 will displace water and will
