Carbon Management Canada (CMC) will develop real-time and cost-effective systems for monitoring, measurement and verification (MMV) of carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage. Next-generation geophysical techniques will be combined and integrated with geochemical and reservoir engineering methods for the Advanced Multi-Physics Sparse (AMPS) Project, with results benchmarked against established MMV technology at the Newell County Field Research Station. Further deployment of the AMPS approach will be pioneered at a commercial site during the project. MMV is an essential component of commercial CCS projects, required for regulatory permits and to demonstrate the security and permanence of storage. CMC will develop a comprehensive report on integrated MMV system performance and practical guidelines to support industry-wide, cost-effective implementation.
