Northern Lights

The Northern Lights partnership releases all relevant well data and reports from 31/5-7 CCS verification well in exploitation license EL001.

**Overview**

The Norwegian Full-Scale CCS project is the first industry scale project for capturing CO2 from industrial sources and storage on the Norwegian continental shelf.

In January 2019, Exploitation license EL001 for CO2 storage, located south of the Troll field was awarded to Equinor and the confirmation well 31/5-7 (Eos) was drilled between December 2019 and March 2020 with Shell and Total as partners. The aim was to confirm that EL001 is suitable for CO2 storage. The CO2 storage complex is defined by the Lower Jurassic Dunlin Group at depths between approximately 2510 to 2830m below sea level at the Eos well location. The Eos well targeted the Dunlin Gp. as the primary storage, where the sandstone-bearing Cook and Johansen Formations both serve as storage units for the injected CO2. They are capped by the Drake Formation consisting of impermeable claystones, preventing the CO2 from migrating out of the Dunlin Group vertically. The Northern Lights partnership releases all relevant well data and reports from 31/5-7 CCS verification well in exploitation license EL001. The dataset contains log data from all sections, biostratigraphy, formation pressure, fluid data and well test data among many others.
