  • Effective monitoring of long-term site stability for transparent carbon capture and storage hazard assessment

    ENSURE will demonstrate the use of microseismic monitoring for seal integrity verification for large-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. Microseismic events provide direct insights into CO2 migration within the storage reservoir and potential caprock integrity challenges within the overburden. This goal will be achieved by developing advanced analysis tools and comparing data, existing and…

  • Reusing depleted oil and gas fields for CO2 sequestration

    The RETURN project will focus on enabling CO2 injection and storage into depleted oil and gas reservoirs for long-term CO2 storage by developing novel solutions for overcoming injection challenges. Currently, high-pressure CO2 injection into low-pressure depleted reservoirs can be challenging due to cooling and potential freezing in the near-well region, jeopardizing injectivity, near-well stability, and…

  • Advanced multitemporal modelling and optimisation of CO2 Transport, utilisation and Storage Networks

    ACTION will establish how an efficient infrastructure, connecting CO2 sources with CO2 geological storage and non-geological utilisation options, can be developed as part of regional decarbonization efforts. It will research and develop a multitemporal integrated assessment model that will support stakeholders in the planning and designing large-scale, flexible CO2 transport, utilization, and storage networks, and…

    Repsol Oil and Gas Canada Inc (Repsol), the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and University of Alberta (UAlberta) will prove the technical feasibility and assess potential leakage risk for CO2 geologic storage in an onshore, pressure-depleted gas reservoir. The candidate reservoir, located near Edson, Alberta in Canada is operated by Repsol and is being considered…

  • Sparse Passive-Active Reservoir monitoring using Seismic, Electromagnetics, gravity, and surface deformation (SPARSE)

    As geological CO2 storage becomes commercially viable, the current state of technologies for subsurface monitoring and measurement will not be sufficient to monitor the large volumes of CO2 that will be injected and permanently stored. The most accurate way to monitor the subsurface today is by using 3D surface seismic data to create a baseline…
