THE PROBLEM: LEAKAGES FROM INJECTION WELLS

6

• International water-leakage survey: Only operators not looking for leakages report having no leakages.

• Economic losses: Reduced life-span for injection wells, higher cost and lower gain for IOR wells; and loss of and possible compensation for loss of CO2 quotas.

• Environmental pollution: Short and long-term soil, sea, (ground-) water and air contamination; and risk of leakage-damages to injection facilities.
