CO 2 Storage Atlas of the Norwegian Part of the North Sea

This is a presentation of the CO2 Storage Atlas of Norwegian North Sea. It includes an evaluation of the storage potential in large saline aquifers, in mapped geological structures and abandoned fields. Safe and efficient storage has been our focus. An evaluation of critical parameters for reservoir quality and sealing quality is established, together with a description of maturation of the storage sites. Potential CO2 storage sites which could be in conflict with the on-going or future petroleum activities in the North Sea are excluded. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
