The document summarizes CIUDEN's CO2 geological storage program, including their Technological Development Plant (TDP) in Hontomin, Spain. The TDP involves site selection, characterization, drilling monitoring wells, injectivity and connectivity testing, and risk assessment activities to demonstrate the feasibility of CO2 storage. Over 2,600 hours of oxycombustion testing have been completed. Drilling of the Hontomin wells was finished in late 2013, and the site will be used to test CO2 injection strategies and monitoring technologies at a scale of 100,000 tonnes of CO2 storage.

Site selection, since 2008
The process involved
the study of data at
national level. The
screening works led to the
election of Hontomin,
based on its structure,
properties, availability of
previous data, being also
compared with other
options in the same basin
on a risk assessment basis.

Drilling phase finished, operative last quarter 2013
This installation will be devoted to real scale experiments in deep porous rock formations
to test and develop new technologies in storage engineering, CO2 injection strategies and
safe operation.
• Current site capacity threshold by Law: 100,000 t.
• On-shore deep saline aquifer storage.
(administrative requirement Spanish Law 40/2010 CO2 Geological Storage)
• Cost reduction Action with the use of Light Drilling Equipment (up to 60%).
• Safe operation including well integrity and leakage prediction techniques.
• CO2 injection strategies: liquid, supercritical and gas.
