The Bristol CO2 Group (BCOG) is made up of a number of researchers at the University of Bristol. We cover a broad range of research themes within the Earth Sciences, linking a number of CCS-related projects. We are research providers for two of the world's largest active CCS projects, In Salah and Weyburn. Our emphases are on geophysical monitoring methods such as microseismic monitoring, 4D seismic variations, and surface deformation; geomechanical modelling of the deformation induced by CO2 injection; and geochemical investigations on the effects of CO2-rock reactions on reservoir integrity.
If CCS is to become part of a portfolio of techniques to reduce CO2 emissions, it must be accepted by the public, who are unfamiliar with the technological basis for CCS. Therefore, this web page is intended to engage with anyone interested in CCS, at any level, from the general public, who can learn more about CCS in the CCS Basics section, to specialist CCS researchers, who can find out more about current research being conducted by BCOG in the CCS Research section.
