ENOS

To meet the EC target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, CO₂ Capture and Storage (CCS) needs to move towards full scale implementation with geological storage solutions both on and offshore.

ENOS provided crucial advances to help foster onshore CO₂ storage across Europe through

1. Developing, testing and demonstrating under “real-life conditions”, key technologies adapted to onshore storage;
2. Contributing to the creation of a favourable environment for onshore storage.

OGS contributed to the pilot site characterization performing seismic modeling and 3D Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP). A huge quantity of data was acquired from 400 shot points, recorded in well by DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensors), a new technology using fiber optic cables, which allows higher spatial sampling than conventional sensors. A 3D cube of seismic data was created as part of the characterization process.

OGS also contributed to geophysical characterization of SFL injection test site.
