Additional information
This paper develops a novel methodology to identify potential aquifer sites using existing data, and predicts the fate of injected CO2 in a recently selected site in the Southern North Sea (SNS). Previously it had not been possible to economically identify that injected CO2 would be stored securely in the SNS in the absence of the trapped hydrocarbons that prove caprock integrity. The knowledge gained was used by the authors to secure funding in the ETI £3.7M UK Storage Appraisal Project, and to select the potential aquifer storage sites in the SNS for the UK wide storage capacity database (http://www.carbonstore.org.uk/).
