Methane gas hydrate
High latitude reaction to global warming
- Change of methane flux started more than 50 years ago
- Geo hazards (continuously monitoring of stress)
Plate tectonic (petroleum province more than 10 years ago)
The main areas of interest are plate margins and Arctic ocean.
CO2 leakage and deposition
Leakage
- Controlled detection of leakage by injection of CO2 into sedimentary basins (small scale)
- Array of seismic sensors on the sea floor in sandstone environment
- Area of interest: sediment
Deposition
- Basalt is more reactive than sandstone (convert CO2 gas to carbonate)
- Area of interest: basalt with impermeable sediment blanket on top
