About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)

Governments, regulators and energy companies are pursuing CO₂ storage technologies to meet their net-zero carbon commitments as well as targets set by the international Paris Agreement on climate change. For successfully executing Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) projects, various technical, operational, economic and environmental risks and associated stakeholders need to be managed. In this 5 half-day Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course, the methods for managing risk in CCS projects are addressed with a focus on CO₂ injection and storage. The VILT course will also demonstrate how to assess storage capacity of a potential CO₂ storage reservoir, model framing techniques, and well injectivity issues related to CO₂ injection. The potential leak paths will be discussed such as reservoir seals, leakage along faults and aspects of well integrity. In the VILT course, the design of a monitoring programme will also be discussed. The VILT course will be supported by various case studies. This VILT course will cover the following modules:

1. CCS projects in an international context
2. Site selection and site characterization
3. Storage capacity assessment
4. Injectivity assessment
5. Containment assessment
6. Measurement, monitoring & verification
