Eiken et al. 2011
• CO2 from the Sleipner field is stored in the Utsira Formation, North Sea
CO2 Plume outline
• Reservoir unit at 800-1100 m depth
• One CO2 injector - 36 meter perforation at ~1012 meter (TVD)
• Injected gas is ~98% CO2
• 13,5Mt CO2 have been injected (as of May 2012, ~0,9M per annum)
• Largest gas/condensate field in the Sleipner area (North Sea), on stream in 1996
• Partners: Statoil - operator (58,35 %), ExxonMobil* (32,24 %), Total** (9,41 %)
• Higher CO2 content (4-9%) than the gas export quality specification allows (2,5%)
• Decision to store geologically the captured CO2 was based on willingness to try
out new technology and the CO2 tax incentive
