Abstract
Summary
In 2016, a study identified the Smeaheia area located 30km off the western coast of Norway, as a suitable storage site for CO2. A concept selection study requested by the Gassnova public enterprise was subsequently performed by the Northern Lights subsurface team, a group comprised of personnel from Equinor and partners. The study revealed challenges with the various geological structures planned for CO2 storage, as well as the importance of understanding the pressure connectivity with the neighbouring hydrocarbon producing Troll field. Due to these challenges Smeaheia was not found mature enough for concept selection at this stage
