Abstract:
The In-Situ Laboratory Project (In-situ Lab) entails a configuration of wells at approximately 400 m depth for monitoring the controlled release of CO2 in a fault zone at the South West Hub CCS Flagship project in Western Australia. The project aims to evaluate the ability to monitor and detect unwanted leakage of CO2 from a storage complex. The In-Situ Lab consists of three instrumented wells up to 400 m deep: 1) Harvey-2 –primarily for CO2 injection, 2) a fiberglass geophysical monitoring well with behind-casing instrumentation, and 3) a shallow groundwater well for fluid sampling.
