Abstract. Between 2004 and 2017 the storage of CO2 in a deep
saline aquifer was investigated in detail at the Ketzin pilot site close to
Berlin. The series of research projects, coordinated by the GFZ German
Research Centre for Geosciences, also incorporated an interdisciplinary
scientific monitoring program during all phases of the storage process which
provided a reliable insight into the overall behaviour of CO2 during
storage in the underground. Prior to abandonment and cementing of the Ktzi 203 observation well, two
side tracks were cored from 643.1 to 662.6 m and from 624.5 to 654.5 m,
respectively. The drilled sections included the transition zone from the cap
rock (Weser Formation) to the reservoir in the Stuttgart Formation which had
been exposed to the injected CO2 for more than nine years. During the
drilling operation continuous mud gas logging was performed by applying a
mud gas separator, a mass spectrometer and a CO2 isotope-analyser for
continuous separation and analyses of the extracted gas. Drill cores were
shrink-wrapped with plastic foil to collect discharging gases. CO2 concentrations in the cap rock were relatively low and their
isotopic compositions were in accord with typical Upper Triassic formation
fluids providing no evidence for a significant CO2 infiltration from
the underlying reservoir into the cap rock. A clear increase in the CO2
concentration and a shift in δ13CCO2 between the cap rock
and the reservoir indicated the presence of the injected CO2 in the
sandstone formation. The comparison with samples collected five years
earlier in 2012 showed similar concentrations and isotopic depth trends
which indicate a rather stagnant CO2 plume at depth and the tightness
and integrity of the cap rock and the borehole cementing.
