Webinar on mitigation of geomechanical risks for safe long-term CO2 geological storage

Ensuring the mechanical stability of CO₂ storage sites over decades is a key challenge for safe and reliable carbon capture and storage. Changes in pressure, temperature and stress in underground formations can affect both reservoirs and caprocks, potentially compromising containment. Addressing these geomechanical risks is essential to keeping CO₂ safely underground, preserving the integrity of wells and reservoirs, and ensuring that storage sites operate reliably over the long term.

To explore these challenges in depth, the EAGE Technical Community on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is hosting a webinar “Mitigation of geomechanical risks for safe long-term CO₂ geological storage”. The session will be presented by Dr Chee Tan, Principal Consultant at EJ Geomechanics Consulting, who will guide participants through coupled geomechanics, dynamic and thermal modelling, the impact of CO₂ cooling on caprocks and reservoirs, and practical insights from Carbon Capture and Storage Development Plan projects that highlight best practices in risk management.

This webinar is free and open to the public.
