Monitoring
Monitoring Concept:
Comprehensive risk assessment is the basis for safe and responsible geological CO2 storage. Decisions have to be made on the basis of reliable data on the reservoir state during all operational phases. The data acquisition requires sensitive and robust monitoring technologies of high resolution to cover processes on different time and length scales. The measurements have to capture small differences of various quantities while the CO2 migrates within the reservoir and interacts with the brine, the minerals and the borehole completions and casings (time lapse mode). To achieve these goals, several disciplines (geophysics, geochemistry, geomicrobiology) and methods, e. g. seismics and geoelectrics, will be applied from the surface and downhole.
