Agenda/Calendar

Planned work
Once continuous injection is established, local staff will take over the pilot site. Further activities in 2004 comprise continuation of field activities until the end of the year.
History matching of the injection and production results will be done in the last phase of the project by numerical simulation of the process during and after injection of the CO2.
The results from the laboratory experiments will be introduced in these reservoir models, where possible. Upscaling of these results, core to inner-well and field scale is required.
Laboratory experiments are due to run to the end of the project.
In principal, injecting will continue until the end of the project lifetime or when breakthrough is established.
Anisotropy effects, with highest permeability perpendicular to the flow direction from the injection well to well MS-4, might hamper an early breakthrough.
Therefore, continuation of the injection beyond the official end of the project (31st October 2004) is currently under consideration.
The monitoring activities will also be continued along with the injection activities.
The CO2 concentration in the near-surface wells and the mine will be registered during and probably after injection.
Gas and water samples will be taken and analyzed on a regular basis.
Depending on the results of the baseline survey, it will be decided if a second seismic cross borehole survey should be executed for time lapse monitoring.
Along with the technical work, an economical evaluation and a future-technological assessment will be executed until the end of the project.
