Objective
This project will enhance the knowledge and understanding of the underground sequestration of CO2, especially where associated with enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and develop and enhance monitoring techniques to ensure safe and stable underground storage. The proposed project will study and monitor the injection and sequestration of the CO2 at the Weyburn oil field (Saskatchewan, Canada) as an integral part of a long-term IEA-facilitated project. Injection of anthropogenic CO2, generated during coal gasification, will start late in 2000. If not used for EOR the CO2 would be vented to the atmosphere. It is anticipated that approximately 20 million tonnes of anthropogenic CO2 will be permanently sequestered underground during EOR.
