This workshop focuses on opportunities to advance technologies to improve injectivity, storage efficiency, and cost-effective monitoring to make CO2 storage a vital tool in mitigating climate change. CO2 storage and monitoring face challenges such as ensuring long-term containment and detecting leaks. Therefore, innovations in geophysical techniques and real-time monitoring can enhance the safety and efficiency of CO2 storage sites.
| Convenor: | World CCUS Technical Committee |
| Language: | English |
| Location: | TBC |
This workshop covers the geological and environmental aspects of CO2 injection, sequestration and monitoring that control the success of real CO2 storage projects.
Regulators, industrial practitioners, academic researchers, and others.
