Demonstrating storage of CO2 in geological reservoirs: The Sleipner and SACS projects
Tore A. Torp,John Gale +1 more
TLDR
The Sleipner project is the first commercial application of CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers in the world as discussed by the authors, and 3D seismic surveying has been used to successfully monitor the CO2 in the Utsira formation.About:

Carbon Capture and Storage
Jon Gibbins,Hannah Chalmers +1 more
TL;DR: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) covers a broad range of technologies that are being developed to allow carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel use at large point sources to be transported to safe geological storage, rather than being emitted to the atmosphere.

Global Energy Assessment: Toward a Sustainable Future
TL;DR: The Global Energy Assessment (GEA) as mentioned in this paper brings together over 300 international researchers to provide an independent, scientifically based, integrated and policy-relevant analysis of current and emerging energy issues and options.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 storage in geological media: Role, means, status and barriers to deployment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the risks associated with CO2 capture and geological storage, and the potential for acute or chronic CO2 leakage from a CO2 storage site is discussed.

CO2 Sequestration in Deep Sedimentary Formations
Sally M. Benson,David R. Cole +1 more
TL;DR: Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) in deep geological formations has recently emerged as an important option for reducing greenhouse emissions as discussed by the authors, and if CCS is implemented on the scale needed to make noticeable reductions in atmospheric CO2, a billion metric tons or more must be sequestered annually, a 250 fold increase over the amount sequestered today.

Geological storage of CO2 in saline aquifers—A review of the experience from existing storage operations
Karsten Michael,Karsten Michael,Alexandra N. Golab,Valeriya Shulakova,Valeriya Shulakova,Jonathan Ennis-King,Jonathan Ennis-King,Guy Allinson,Guy Allinson,Sandeep Sharma,Toby Aiken +10 more
TL;DR: The experience from CO2 injection at pilot projects (Frio, Ketzin, Nagaoka, US Regional Partnerships) and existing commercial operations (Sleipner, Snohvit, In Salah, acid-gas injection) demonstrates that CO2 geological storage in saline aquifers is technologically feasible.

Monitoring of CO2 injected at Sleipner using time-lapse seismic data
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the seismic interpretation are shown, supported by synthetic seismic modelling and reservoir flow simulation of the migrating CO2 at the two different time-steps, which provides insights into the migration of the CO2.

Sleipner Vest CO2 Disposal, CO2 Injection Into A Shallow Underground Aquifer
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of disposing large amounts of CO 2 into a shallow underground aquifer from an offshore location in the North Sea is described, and the solutions presented is an alternative for CO 2 emitting industries in addressing the growing concern for the environmental impact from such activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstrating the Potential for Geological Storage of CO2: The Sleipner and GESTCO Projects
TL;DR: Two projects are now under way in the European Union to assess the potential CO2 storage capacity of the main sedimentary basins within Europe, known as GESTCO, which will examine in detail the geological storage potential and coincidence of CO2 emission sources to storage sites.
