IEAGHG Technical Report: Criteria for Depleted Reservoirs to be Developed for CO2 Storage

by Samantha Neades (IEAGHG)

The long-term, secure storage of CO₂ depends on injection and retention within well characterised geological reservoirs, such as saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas fields. The potential CO₂ storage capacity in saline formations is well understood, and the objective of this IEAGHG study was to specifically focus on a set of storage conditions that apply to depleted hydrocarbon fields.
