Recognized by the CSLF at its Melbourne meeting in September 2004, this project is a follow-on to the Sleipner project and involves monitoring of CO2 migration (involving a seismic survey) in an saline formation beneath the North Sea and additional studies to gain further knowledge of geochemistry and dissolution processes.

There will also be several preliminary feasibility studies for additional geologic settings of future candidate project sites. The goal of the project is to develop sound scientific-based methodologies for the assessment, planning, and long-term monitoring of underground CO2 storage, both onshore and offshore.
