Subsurface Monitoring of Geological CO2 Storage Geological sequestration can be used to reduce greenhouse CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. The three potential geological storage options are depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep saline aquifers, and un-minable coal beds. Subsurface monitoring will be necessary for leak detection, to provide information for optimizing injection, and to support... Learn More
