  1. The IEA Weyburn CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project CO2 Capture Project – Potsdam conference Presented by Roland Moberg October 31, 2001

  2. Project Objectives • To verify permanent storage of CO2 • Understand the risks of CO2 migration & leakage • Develop technologies for storage verification • Determine reservoir capacity • Determine the cost of storage • Transfer know-how to other geological storage projects

  3. Field Data Collection $4.8 Geology $2.0 Geochemistry $1.5 Monitoring CO2 Movement $11.0 Sequestration Performance $4.0 Total $23.3 Project Budget Currency: Canadian dollars (millions)

  9. Project Results • CO2 injection start September 15, 2000 • Response at five well locations • Can see CO2 aerially moving through the patterns • Tracers confirming flow paths • Geochemical sampling capable of identifying specific CO2 source • Groundwater baseline survey completed to detect any changes in groundwater
