• Fluid flow at the Snøhvit field, SW Barents Sea: processes, driving mechanisms and multi-phase modelling 

      Tasianas, Alexandros (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-07-03)
      The research undertaken in this PhD project was part of a large EU interdisciplinary project named ECO2: Sub-seabed CO2 Storage: Impact on Marine Ecosystems. The overall goal of the ECO2 project was to understand the short-term and long-term impacts of CO2 storage on marine ecosystems. I concentrated my work on the Snøhvit site, which is located in the SW Barents Sea, on the Norwegian continental ...
    • Geological modelling for investigating CO2 emissions in Florina Basin, Greece 

      Koukuzas, N.; Tasianas, Alexandros; Gemeni, V; Alexopoulos, D.; Vasilatos, Charalampos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-15)
      This paper presents an investigation of naturally occurring CO2 emissions from the Florina natural analogue site in Greece. The main objective was to interpret previously collected depth sounding data, convert them into surfaces, and use them as input to develop, for the rst time, 3D geological models of the Florina basin. By also locating the extent of the aquifer, the location of the CO2 ...
    • High-resolution 3D seismic study of pockmarks and shallow fluid flow systems at the Snøhvit hydrocarbon field in the SW Barents Sea 

      Tasianas, Alexandros; Bünz, Stefan; Bellwald, Benjamin; Hammer, Øyvind; Planke, Sverre; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Krassakis, Pavlos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-21)
      The Barents Sea is an epicontinental shelf sea with a fragmented structure consisting of long fault complexes, basins and basement highs. Fluid leakage from deep-seated hydrocarbon accumulations is a widespread phenomenon and mostly related to its denudation history during the glacial/interglacial cycles. In this study, we aimed to better understand shallow fluid flow processes that have led to the ...
    • Monitoring Of CO2 Leakage Using High-Resolution 3D Seismic Data – Examples From Snøhvit, Vestnesa Ridge And The Western Barents Sea 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Waage, Malin; Planke, S; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Polteau, S; Tasianas, Alexandros; Bünz, Stefan; Plaza-Faverola, Andreia; Berndt, Christian; Stokke, H.H.; Millett, John; Myklebust, R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-21)
      Injection of CO2 in subsurface reservoirs may cause overburden deformation and CO2 leakage. The aim of this study is to apply technologies for detection and monitoring of CO2 leakage and deformation above the injection reservoirs. The examples of this study include data from the Vestnesa Ridge natural seep site, the Snøhvit gas field and CO2 storage site region, and the Gemini North gas reservoir. ...
    • Simulating seismic chimney structures as potential vertical migration pathways for CO2 in the Snøhvit area, SW Barents Sea: model challenges and outcomes 

      Tasianas, Alexandros; Mahl, Lena; Darcis, Melanie; Bünz, Stefan; Class, Holger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-16)
      Carbon capture and storage (CCS) activities at the Snøhvit field, Barents Sea, will involve carrying out an analysis to determine which parameters affect the migration process of CO2 from the gas reservoir, to what degree they do so and how sensitive these parameters are to any changes. This analysis will aim to evaluate the effects of applying a broad but realistic range of reservoir, fault and gas ...
