Monitoring and Verification of Injected CO2 at the Aquistore site, Saskatchewan, Canada: Sampling of Tertiary, Cretaceous, and Devonian aquifers to establish a Baseline and Continued Monitoring During CO2 Injection.☆
2014
Abstract Aquistore is a research and monitoring project that is independently managed by the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC). This project intends to demonstrate the feasibility of storing anthropocentrically produced CO 2 in a deep saline formation, as an alternative to releasing greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. Aquistore is located in south-eastern Saskatchewan, Canada, south of the town of Estevan, just north of the Canada-USA border. The CO 2 is sourced from the Sask Power Boundary Dam coal-fired generation station. This source is located approximately 4 kilometers from the injection site. The Deadwood and Winnipeg Formations of Cambrian and Ordovician ages respectively, are the target injection layers. Theses formations are at a depth of approximately 3300m metres below the surface.
