Gravity and subsidence monitoring at the seafloor should be feasible at the Endurance CO2 injection site
Quad Geometrics has together with bp completed a feasibility study for the Northern Endurance Partnership, which plans to inject 100 Mt of CO2 into Endurance over 25 years. Gravity reductions of up to 2.4 µGal/year are expected at the seafloor, caused by CO2 replacing formation water in the storage reservoir. Changes will accumulate to more […]
Gravity surveying at Skorovas Gruber
Quad Geometrics has carried out a gravity survey for Skorovas Gruber A/S (contact: Knut Berger, phone +47 941 46 010) in the autumn of 2024. This took place in the mountains of Trøndelag county, Norway, at the Skorovas mine. Nearly 6 million tons of sulphide ore were extracted, and copper, zinc and sulphur were exported before […]
More precise monitoring of reservoirs is in the coming
The SHAPE-project shall improve data processing and describe uncertainties in a better way. This may enlighten important aspects of CO2-injection and storage.
Northern Endurance Partnership’s CO2 injection and storage project: Gravity and subsidence feasibility study by Quad Geometrics
The Northern Endurance Partnership has through BP awarded Quad Geometrics a Gravity and Subsidence modelling (feasibility) study for the CO2 injection and storage project in the UK sector of the North Sea. The study will be concluded mid- 2024.
Unlocking the potential of microgravity: A review of its role in forecasting volcanic eruptions
In a review article September 2023 published in the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, de Zeeuw-van Dalfsen and Poland argue that microgravity has untapped potential as a forecasting tool for volcanic eruptions. They conclude that the technique is currently underutilized and attention, investment, and applications at more volcanoes could help to realize its promise.
