Why Choose this Training Course

Geological Storage of CO2, specifically the geological sequestration of CO2, is increasingly recognized as a key strategy for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in the fight against global warming. In recent years, the field has seen significant advancements. While many of the underlying technologies draw from oil and gas operations, important distinctions exist that necessitate adapting the industry’s subsurface expertise to this new application.

Every CO2 storage project must answer four fundamental questions:

1. Where can CO2 be stored?
2. How much CO2 can be injected?
3. Can it be stored safely?
4. Can it be stored economically?

This CO2 geological storage training will explore these questions by leveraging established practices from the oil and gas sector and modifying traditional engineering design principles to meet the unique challenges of CO2 storage.

We are also a proud member of the Energy Institute of UK.

Key Learning Objectives

• Current state-of the-art of research in the field of CCS; screening of CCS projects worldwide
• Fundamentals of CCS, its interdisciplinary connections and the ability to appraise the role of CCS more widely within the energy transition
• Assessing the storage volume capacity by investigating the combined effects of capillary pressure, salinity, and in-situ thermodynamic conditions on CO2-brine/reservoir fluid-rock interactions in a saline aquifer or depleted reservoir
• Addressing the potential CO2 leakage paths; mitigating the risk by optimising the injection strategy and well completion
• Quantifying the uncertainty with different realisations to scale geological properties, major faults, and their sealing capacity as well as rock compressibility
• Monitoring the geological storage of CO2, types of monitoring technologies and techniques, monitoring strategies, results, and modelling temporal responses accordingly
• Identifying the uncertainties affecting the future field behaviour and reduce their impact by optimising the field performance through a systematic application of integrated reservoir management and multidisciplinary technologies
• The impact of CCS on the energy landscape, society, and climate as these topics govern the success of the research that is being carried out to solve one of greatest challenges of our generation
