10 3D TIME-LAPSE SEISMIC RESULTS Storage reservoir is deep (3200 m) and quantities of CO 2 (to date) are relatively small (36 ktonnes) Time-lapse seismic: nrms values of 40%-60% are considered good and values of less than 20%, excellent (Lumley, 2010). For comparison, nrms values of ~30-35% were achieved at Weyburn. 10
