Short summary
Selecting suitable configurations is a key step for Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) surveys. The paper proposes two selection criteria which have been tested on numerical resistivity models, developed for a CO2 injection experiment at the Svelvik CO2 field lab in Norway. After the CO2 injection took place schedule performance is revalued using revised reservoir models. The study shows opportunities and challenges associated with small scale CO2 injection monitoring using ERT.
