In the Longyearbyen CO2 laboratory project, it is planned to inject carbon dioxide into a Triassic-Jurassic fractured sandstone-shale succession (Kapp Toscana Group) at a depth of 700- 1000 m below the local settlement. The targeted storage sandstones offer moderate secondary porosity and low permea...
