CO₂ INJECTION AT MAGUELONE EXPERIMENT


CO₂ was injected in a shallow reservoir (13-16 m deep) in January 2013, after three N2 injection periods in 2012 aimed at tuning the field monitoring strategy. The hydrogeophysical monitoring was conducted both from surface and downhole, including high frequency seismic and electrical resistivity probing, pressure recording and fluid sampling.

Coring party' at Heletz in September 2012

The core samples from the Heletz injection and monitoring wells were sampled and distributed to a number of laboratories that will test and characterize these rocks thoroughly, for different hydraulic, chemical and mechanical properties relevant for CO2 storage. MUSTANG researchers had a group coring event in September and samples were taken and sent to be tested to various universities and research laboratories in including CNRS, Edinburgh, Göttingen, Stanford, Luleå and Uppsala.

The 7th Project consortium meeting took place in Haifa (Israel)
