Abstract
Summary
A CO2 storage atlas of the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) was elaborated by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) on request from the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in the period 2011 to 2013 (npd.no).
The atlas documents the distribution and properties of the main aquifers, which are evaluated to have an interesting storage potential for CO2. The procedure for compiling the atlas was to screen all reservoir formations between 700 and 3500 m depth. In order to avoid conflict of interests with the petroleum industry, studies of CO2 injection into saline aquifers were mainly restricted to areas where the generation and migration of hydrocarbons is considered to be limited.
The results/ atlas material is now available on an interactive map called CO2 FactMap. This application gives you the possibility to explore the assessment result, and is also suited for mobile devices.
