Welcome to a workshop for participants and the Scientific Advisory Board at the VICCO Vista Centre and the CO2Basalt research project, both at the University of Oslo. The workshop consists of one day in the field and two days of scientific presentations in the Physics Building at Blindern.

Tøyen Park was alive with activity for all ages. Activities ranged from building a life size dinosaur from artificial dinosaur bones, demonstrating rock faults using a sponge cake, to blowing up balloons using bicarbonate of soda mixed with vinegar to produce CO₂.

SSC – RAMORE is a research project about leakages of CO₂ stored in the subsurface. The main objectives of the project: To establish technology for risk assessment, monitoring, and remediation of CO₂ stored in the subsurface.

- CO₂ mixed with formation water does not geochemically alter the seals to such an extent that they leak, summarizes Professor of Geology Per Aagaard, and adds: Although these promising results of the SSC-Ramore project, we still do need more knowledge of the process involved in the sealing caprock above the CO₂ reservoir to be certain that the sealing is tight and CO₂ stays in place. Now our research focus has somewhat shifted towards how the geomechanical properties change with diagenetic processes (cementation) and structural deformation processes.
