Newly developed technology to monitor CO2 storage in the North Sea has proven itself

Consortium partners of the Greensand project, consider the new seismic monitoring technology developed specifically for this project to be successful because frequent seismic monitoring is essential for safe and permanent storage of CO2. The new technology ensures more frequent control of the Nini West field in the North Sea while achieving less impact on the environment and climate, the project consortium claims. A wide range of consortium members, including the French company SpotLight, are behind the newly developed technology. "After the first CO2 storage, it was important for us to demonstrate the efficiency and flexibility of our monitoring solution. Among other things, we did this because we were able to quickly perform the first monitoring of the tank and thus obtain important information about where the stored CO2 is located in the tank. "The operation was very successful because we collected high-quality data with regard to safety and effectiveness. This enables the Greensand project to set new standards for CCS oversight.” he said Habib al Khatib, CEO of SpotLight. We remind you that on March 8, 2023, the Greensand project achieved a significant milestone with the first ever injection of CO2 into the North Sea. (Amir Garanović)
