Short shut-ins have been done every week sińce autumn 2008. These are typically of 3 minutes duration, and the flowing vs. non-flowing pressures has been compared. Rapid temperaturę increase in the well after shut-in cause CO? density to decrease, which again reduces static weight of the column and increase the pressure seen by the downhole gauge. This complicates any longer duration shut-in measurements. Bottom hole shut-in pressures and bottom hole flowing pressures have been estimated by assuming a similar weight of the CO; column between the gauge and the perforations as between the wellhead and downhole gauges. The calculated CO; density has mostly been between 0,90 and 0,96 kg/m\ with a tendency to increase with time. The generał pressure increase and lower levels of impurities in the CO; contribute to this.

Datę
The difference between flowing and shut-in pressure is shown in Figurę 67 (blue dots). For most of the time it has been between 6 and 10 bar. The injectivity index (injection ratę divided by pressure difference) has shown a slight decreasing trend, and has lately been in the order 6-9 tons/hr/bar].
