PICOREF (2005-2007) is a French R&D project that aims at describing geological sites where pilot injection of CO2 would be possible. Both oil-field and deep saline aquifer contexts are examined. Because of the quality of the datasets available, the work is focused on the SE of Paris Basin. The project has also an access to the data of one oil field located in the same area.
