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 4 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 the well and reservoir integrity of a potential CO₂ storage subsurface system. The phase behaviour during injection and well operations and what the consequences are for material selection will be examined. The potential leak paths will be discussed such as reservoir seals, leakage along faults and aspects of new well design for CO₂ injection. In the course, the design of a monitoring programme MMV) will also be discussed, including well design requirements for an MMV. The course will be supported by various case studies.
