AGR to support Denmark’s Ruby CO2 storage project

Specialist wells and reservoir management consultancy AGR has been awarded a contract by CarbonCuts A/S to provide subsurface and geomechanics advisory services to support the advancement of Project Ruby, a potential onshore CO₂ storage site south of Lolland, Denmark.

The Ruby CO₂ project aims to assess the Rødby structure as a secure, long-term geological storage solution for industrially captured CO₂ from both Danish and international emitters.

AGR’s scope of work, delivered by our subsurface team, includes seismic interpretation, structural modelling, fault seal analysis, geomechanical modelling, and fault slip/dilation risk assessment to support storage site maturation and qualification. The work will leverage newly acquired 3D seismic data, legacy 2D seismic datasets, and well information from historical drilling and the recent 2025 Rødby-2 re-entry.

“In short, we will help characterise the Lolland-Falster fault system, assess containment integrity, evaluate injection feasibility, and establish sustainable operating pressure limits for future CO₂ injection scenarios,” says Lone Margrethe Olstad, VP Subsurface at AGR.

The multidisciplinary study will combine AGR’s expertise across geophysics, structural geology, petrophysics, reservoir engineering, and geomechanics. The project further strengthens AGR’s growing role in the energy transition, supporting the development of safe and commercially viable carbon storage infrastructure.

“Together, AGR and our Aqualis group sister companies – ABL and Longitude – have been involved in more than 80 carbon storage and CCS projects across Europe, Australia and Asia. We have developed a unique combination of subsurface, wells, geomechanics and storage assurance capabilities that we are now bringing to Project Ruby,” says Ole B Rygg, PhD, Wells and CCS Lead.
