Abstract

The method of carbon capture and storage is among the top attempts to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. This has necessitated more accurate ways of investigating and characterising potential geological storage sites, such as high-resolution reflection-seismic surveys. In this study, we present a multi-profile 2D seismic survey that was conducted in the Central Jutland region of Denmark. We incorporated the use of two seismic vibrator trucks in combination with a parallel dual-recording system comprising both a landstreamer and wireless nodal units. The imaging target of the survey was a ~233 km2 dome structure within the series of sandstones that form the Gassum Formation. Dense spacing (2 m) of the streamer units in combination with the large spread (up to 10 km) of the nodal units yielded seismic sections with high resolution up to depths of 4 km, well below the target.
