This technical note describes the FluidFlower concept, a new laboratory infrastructure for geological carbon storage research. The highly controlled and adjustable system produces a strikingly visual physical ground truth of studied processes for model validation, comparison and forecasting, including detailed physical studies of the behavior and storage mechanisms of carbon dioxide and its derivative forms in relevant geological settings for subsurface carbon storage. The design, instrumentation, structural aspects and methodology are described. Furthermore, we share engineering insights into construction, operation, fluid considerations and fluid resetting in the porous media. The new infrastructure enables researchers to study variability between repeated CO2 injections, making the FluidFlower concept a suitable tool for sensitivity studies on a range of determining carbon storage parameters in varying geological formations.

Carbon, capture, and storage (CCS) is an important bridging technology to combat climate change in the transition toward net-zero. The FluidFlower concept has been developed to visualize and study CO2 flow and storage mechanisms in sedimentary systems in a laboratory setting. Meter-scale multiphase flow in two geological geometries, including normal faults with and without smearing, is studied. The experimental protocols developed to provide key input parameters for numerical simulations are detailed, including an evaluation of operational parameters for the FluidFlower benchmark study. Variability in CO2 migration patterns for two different geometries is quantified, both between 16 repeated laboratory runs and between history-matched models and a CO2 injection experiment. The predicative capability of a history-matched model is then evaluated in a different geological setting.
