21 Sharing knowledge & opportunities at Cranfield Key Cranfield team members have helped shape the Citronelle injection and monitoring i plan. SECARB is making Cranfield data sets available to a Sim-SEQ collaborative effort. SECARB is refining capabilities for estimating CO2 recycle/storage ratios at Cranfield. Cranfield is serving as a field laboratory for international Cranfield is serving as a field laboratory for international participants.

30 Knowledge to be acquired from an Integrated Test What business relationships must be established among the CO 2 provider, transporter and injection field operator? How can a CO 2 transportation and injection system impact plant operations and scheduling? How can cycling a plant on-line and off-line impact CO 2 transportation and injection? What types of communications and control systems are needed to support integration? How can lessons learned assist in scale up?
