Wilhelmøya Subgroup rocks in Central Spitsbergen, Svalbard, form a potential storage reservoir for CO2 below Longyearbyen. These rocks are characterized by a moderate porosity and low permeability within which fractures are considered to facilitate fluid flow [1]. However, hard data on fracture para...
