Project partners in the Northern Lights CO2 storage project Equinor, Shell and Total are making datasets from the confirmation well 31/5-7 Eos in the North Sea publicly available.
The data from the well drilled earlier this year have been acquired through coring, logging, sampling and a production test and have confirmed a suitable reservoir for the storage of CO2.
The released data, which will be made available via Equinor’s OMNIA platform, discloses relevant subsurface data including well log data, core data and well test data.
‘The Northern Lights project believes data sharing can play an important role in building trust in the technology as well as unlocking value and innovation potential in the CCS industry,’ said Sverre Overå, project director.
The 31/5-7 confirmation well (Eos) within EL001 licence was drilled and tested from 2 December 2019 to 7 March 2020.
The Eos well targeted the Dunlin Group Geological formation as the primary storage, where the sandstone-bearing Cook and Johansen formations both can serve as storage units for the injected CO2.
The cap rock consists of impermeable claystones called the Drake Formation, which prevents the CO2 from migrating out of the Dunlin Group.
