Figure 2.3(a) shows resistivity logs from LakePreston 1 well which Varma et al. (2009) interpreted as indicative of fresh water recharge.Figure 2.3(b) presents Varma et al. (2009)’s concept model. The concept model is orientedNorth-South. The injection well is at <strong>the</strong> right of <strong>the</strong> figure. CO 2 is injected into<strong>the</strong> relatively-permeable Lower Lesueur formation. As <strong>the</strong> plume migrates upwards, CO 2 istrapped by capiliary mechanisms. These mechanisms were discussed in Section 1.1.2.| 13
