Developing a Carbon Storage Site in Slovakia via Conversion of a Depleted Gas Field

The Carbon Storage project at the depleted Golianovo gas field is a pivotal initiative for Slovakia. With the first stage filing for the CCS license complete it stands to become the first CO2 storage site in Slovakia and a flagship project for Eastern Europe onshore. This abstract describes the preliminary geological evaluation of the field, including static modelling and volumetric calculation, and outlines the workflow completed for permit application requirements. We discuss the strategic importance of the project and the future work required for detailed evaluation prior to commencement of CO2 injection.
