Abstract
The GipNet assets are the foundation to research programs for observations and instrument tests aimed at defining practical and relevant shallow-marine Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) programs as the CCS industry considers shallow offshore waters in the Gulf of Mexico and other basins, as well as meeting the specifics of CarbonNet Project options. The CarbonNet Project is investigating large volume storage (nominal 125 million tonnes of CO2 over 25 years) in shallow waters within 20 km of the coastline, offshore Gippsland Australia. GipNet will research the levels of various types of noise and natural variation against which one seeks to detect a positive signal, or confirm a..
