4th CCS Symposium - Effective Characterisation of Storage Sites: Energy Group

In the North Sea and beyond, first-of-a-kind carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects are reaching FID. To enable success for this nascent industry, we are actively seeking real world examples from recent appraisal and testing programmes, including the acquisition and impact of new data and insights gained through advanced modelling. What can we learn from the more established CO2 storage projects, and which uncertainties remain poorly understood? As an industry it is also important to consider what we realistically need to know to safely inject and how to reduce appraisal timelines, as these impact the full life cycle costs of the projects to the operator and cost per ton to emitter. How do we determine pragmatic, risk-based approaches for appraisal of depleted field and saline aquifer stores, balancing the need to demonstrate containment against commercial reality?
