CO2 Storage Pilot in a Carbonate Reservoir

Main objective of CO2-SPICER is to prepare a CO2 geological storage pilot project at the mature Zar-3 oil & gas field in the SE part of the Czech Republic up to the implementation-ready stage. To achieve this main objective, a set of partial project goals has been set:

• construction of a 3D geological model of the storage complex;
• dynamic modelling simulations of CO2 injection in the reservoir using various scenarios;
• evaluation of geomechanical and geochemical properties of the storage complex;
• assessment of the risks related to CO2 storage on the pilot site;
• preparation of a Site monitoring plan;
• development of scenarios for future site development, including design of CO2 injection facilities;
• strengthening of Czech-Norwegian cooperation in the field of CCS.
