Classification: Internal Status: Draft 10 years of SLEIPNER CO2 Storage Tore A Torp, Dr.ing.Adviser CO2 Storage, StatoilHydro ASA, Norway 11 years of SLEIPNER CO2 Storage CONTENT: “Low Carbon Diet” Industrial Experiences with CO2 Sleipner, In Salah, K12B, Ketzin, Snohvit and ??? VISION Sleipner CO2 injection:- Decided in 1992- In operation since 1996- 1 million tonne CO2/?rTime Magazine,17. May 2004 Previous Experiences with CO2 Injection Enhanced Oil Recovery (Texas, Hungary, Turkey, Brazil,Croatia) Natural gas cleaning Transport – Pipelines Ships Natural gas re-injection Natural gas underground storageand Beer soft drinks, dry cleaning, food packaging – Every day life  Yara CO2-tankers, 1500 m3 capacity The Sleipner field – CO2 Treatment and Injection CO2 Injection Well in Utsira The Utsira Formation Time-lapse seismic datasets of CO2 stored in Utsira formation CO2 distribution June 2006 8,4 million tonnes injected over 10 years Plume area: 2,8 km2 (1,3 km2 in 2001) Plume long axis: 3760 m Maximum distance from injection point: 2560m Maximum speed of front since 2004: 250 m/year, Distance from CO2 to wells: Exploration well 15/9-13: 430m, decreasing about 12 m/year D-template: about 2 km straight west of northern plume 15/9-19 wells: about 4,5 km north of plume SACS Project 1998-2002 Demonstrations of CO2 storage Sleipner CO2 Injection SAFETY STRATEGY What is keeping the CO2 down? Trapping Mechanisms Closure - from day one –faults? Micro-pore trapping - during injection - lasting Dissolution in water - sinking to the bottom – centuries Mineral binding - precipitating solids – centuries/millennia Possible Leakage? Leakage ways? WELLS - Corrosion of cement steel Faults/Cracks – Overpressure critical Underground fluid mobility – Site specific Prevention Detection Remediation Monitoring and safety over TIME? Before start: Site selection, Planning and Risk assessment =licence During injection: Monitoring – “Wat
