Project description:

Main objective of CO2-SPICER is to prepare implementation of a CO2 geological storage pilot project at the mature Zar-3 oil & gas field in the SE part of the Czech Republic.

To achieve this main objective, a set of partial project goals has been set:

  • construction of a 3D geological model of the storage complex;
  • dynamic modelling and simulations of CO2 injection in the reservoir using various scenarios;
  • evaluation of geomechanical and geochemical properties of the storage complex;
  • assessment of the risks related to CO2 storage on the pilot site;
  • preparation of a Site monitoring plan;
  • development of scenarios for future site development, including design of CO2 injection facilities;
  • strengthening of Czech-Norwegian cooperation in the field of CCS.
