Resumé

The paper aims to draw some generic conclusions on reservoir characterization based on the Sleipner operation where CO ₂ is being injected into the Utsira Sand. Regional mapping and petrophysical characterization of the reservoir, based on 2D seismic and well data, enable gross storage potential to be evaluated. Site-specific injection studies, and longer-term migration prediction, require precision depth mapping based on 3D seismic data and detailed knowledge of reservoir stratigraphy. Stratigraphical and structural permeability barriers, difficult to detect prior to CO ₂ injection, can radically affect CO ₂ migration within the aquifer.
