WMP has used these sites to study technical aspects of CO2
geological storage
Commercial EOR operations in Weyburn and Midale oilfields
utilise anthropogenic CO2
Over 25Mt of CO2 injected and stored since 2000
IEAGHG Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring & Storage Project (WMP) since 2000

Benefit to the Program
• Develop and validate technologies to ensure 99% storage permanence
• Focused research at Apache’s Midale field offers unique opportunities: – Access to angled wellbores already exposed to
injected CO2, for integrity and abandonment studies – Monitoring: analysis and interpretation of legacy and
forthcoming 3D seismic datasets – Feasibility study for micro-sensor mote investigations
