An under-communicated factor for CCS
In an article published on geoexpro.com and geoforskning.no, Ola Eiken discusses with editor Ronny Setså the importance of using surface uplift measurements—whether from the seabed or land surfaces—to monitor CO2 injection. In the interview, Eiken emphasizes the need to elevate the prominence to pressure considerations in the CCS discourse. He argues for prioritizing the value of […]
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.
