Abstract
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one proposed way of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Statoil’s experience with CCS, both from operating the Sleipner project in the North Sea and the Snøhvit project in the Barents Sea provides a useful basis for understanding what is important for assessing long term integrity of storage sites in general. One of the lessons learned is the importance of collecting data form a wider area and volume around the storage site. In this paper we will present the value of characterising and monitoring the storage complex, using the Sleipner storage site as an example.
