Detection of surface deformation related with CO2 injection by DInSAR at In Salah, Algeria
1st January 2008
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper describes the use of interferometric synthetic aperture radar to map changes in the surface of the Krechba natural gas field at In Salah, Algeria. The authors state this this is the first instance the spaceborne system has been used for this purpose. They describe methodology and results, concluding that this system is a promising, cost-effective monitoring tool compared with other conventional geophysical surveys.

Coupled reservoir-geomechanical analysis of CO2 injection at In Salah, Algeria
1st January 2008
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper describes coupled reservoir-geomechanical modeling of CO2 injection at Krechba, at the In Salah geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) project in Algeria. Several studies have investigated surface uplift surrounding Krechba injection sites. In this approach, the authors simulate the actual CO2 injection in a three-dimensional model around one horizontal injection well, and conduct sensitivity studies to determine the cause and mechanisms of the uplift.

Evaluating the impact of fractures on the long-term performance of the In Salah CO2 storage site
1st January 2008
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper presents the authors’ current knowledge on the characterisation of faults and fractures at the CO2 storage demonstration site at the Krechba natural gas field at In Salah, Algeria. The authors discuss their current understanding of fault and fracture properties at Krechba, which is essential for realistic predictions of CO2 flow behaviour at the site. Furthermore, an extensive monitoring program is underway to improve the characterisation of the Krechba field as storage location and to verify the applicability of a number of monitoring methods for CO2 storage purposes.

Satellite imaging to monitor CO2 movement at Krechba, Algeria
1st January 2008
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper describes current and future use of satellite data to monitor and model injection sites at the Krechba natural gas field at In Salah, Algeria. The authors explain the current monitoring programme at Krechba, and the role satellite imagery plays. The authors conclude that experience at In Salah shows that satellite imagery now has the resolution to be a key monitoring technology for onshore storage.

The In Salah Gas CO2 Storage Project
1st December 2007
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Engineering and project delivery
This paper provides an overview of the In Salah Gas CO2 Storage Project, based in the Ahnet-Timimoun Basin in the Algerian Central Sahara. The project was established as a public demonstration of storage assurance, to capture and reinject waste CO2 from natural gas production, that would have otherwise been vented to the atmosphere. This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) with participation from industry, academia, government and non-government organisations.

Development of a CO2 transport and storage network in the North Sea: report to the North Sea Basin Task Force
6th November 2007
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, CO2 transport
The UK and Norwegian governments engaged Element Energy Limited, Pöyry Energy, and the British Geological Survey to examine the role that a pipeline infrastructure for carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) could play in reducing CO2 emissions from both countries.
This report, commissioned by the UK Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (formerly the Department of Trade and Industry) on behalf of the UK, Norway and North Sea Basin Task Force, examines possible development pathways for a CCS pipeline infrastructure connecting large UK and Norwegian sources with appropriate sinks in the North Sea and describes the implications for both countries.

1st October 2006
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage
This report, funded by United Kingdom Department of Trade and Industry, considers the UK’s emissions of carbon dioxide from large industrial point sources such as power stations and the potential geological storage capacity to safely and securely store these emissions.

Property interests and liability of geologic carbon dioxide storage
1st September 2005
Topic(s): CO2 storage, Liability
Carbon dioxide capture and storage involves the capture of carbon dioxide from a stationary source and injection into a suitable storage site. Increasing attention is being paid to the use of geologic formations as storage reservoirs for captured carbon dioxide. Property interests play a role in determining the cost of geologic storage through the acquisition of necessary geologic reservoir property rights and the value of storage through ownership of injected carbon dioxide. The determination of the ownership interest for the storage reservoir depends on whether carbon dioxide is being injected into a mineral formation, including depleted oil and gas reservoirs, unmineable coal seams, and oil reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery, in which case ownership determination is based on mineral law, or whether carbon dioxide is being into a deep saline formation, in which case the determination of property interests is influenced by water law. Acquisition of ownership rights over the formation may be done by voluntary methods, eminent domain, or adverse possession. Ownership over injected carbon dioxide will depend on whether a state subscribes to the ownership or non-ownership theory of injected gas. Liability concerning property rights may derive from several theories, including geophysical surface trespass, geophysical subsurface trespass, or liability from commingling of goods. Legislation on the state or federal level concerning property interests and eminent domain power may provide clarification over property interests and liability of geologic storage of carbon dioxide.

Building the cost curves for CO2 storage: European sector
17th February 2005
Topic(s): CO2 storage, Economics
The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG) has been systematically evaluating the cost and potential for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases arising from anthropogenic activities, especially the use of fossil fuels. A mitigation technology that has been given particular attention is the capture and storage of CO2 originating from large stationary point sources. To date a series of studies have been undertaken, on a range of options for the storage of carbon dioxide.
This report reviews the development of a CO2 storage cost curve for Europe. The study has been carried out by The Netherlands Geological Survey (TNO-NITG) in co-operation with the geological surveys of Britain (BGS) and Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and ECOFYS.
