What is CO, sequestration? -
Injection of a pure CO, stream, in super critical state, deep underground
where it will remain forever

Geological formations with potential for CO, geological storage
are normally associated with hydrocarbons or water reservoirs
* Depleted oil and gas reservoirs
* Deep saline aquifers
* Non-explorable coal layers
* Shales rich in organic matter
Collect relevant geologic information: drilling campaigns, seismic,
magnetic and gravimetric surveys data, geothermal and hydrological
