A pilot scale research facility for injection into a fracture to study

migration and attenuation processes during migration through the

overburden. Challenges could be site identification and permitting.

New or

upgrade

existing

3-8

26

A large (i.e. metres-scale) true tri-axial cell to enable cap

rocks. Such a cell will give us the realistic stress testing for

reservoir and opportunity to investigate more realistic stress

distributions. For example, we could run fracture

propagation tests which are not possible in existing

equipment due to boundary effects.

Medium New 2-3

27

Well scale testing facility at well (with realistic diameter) for evaluating

in-situ a range of in-situ potentially damaging processes specific to

CCS wells (temperature changes, pressure changes, low pH

conditions...). This implies: cement-rock bonding, casing-cement

bonding, casing boundaries, remediation technologies, borehole

monitoring.
