Stazioni Geochimiche Ambientali Brochure

Both the strategic storage of natural gas in hydrocarbon reservoirs and the geological sequestration of carbon dioxide pose high risks of migration of the stored gases towards the surface environments, a phenomenon that may cause serious environmental and economic damage. West Systems, in collaboration with Saipem, the Institute of Geosciences and Earth Resources of CNR and Massa, has designed and realised instruments for monitoring gas emissions at sites of both methane storage and geological sequestration of carbon dioxide.
