Rocks of the Knorringfjellet Formation in Central Spitsbergen form a potential storage reservoir for CO2 below Longyearbyen. They are characterised by a moderate porosity and low permeability. However, water injection tests have shown positive results and fractures are considered to facilitate fluid...
