About this Training

Geological sequestration of CO₂ is emerging as an important tool to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 for combating global warming. Much of the technology used for CO₂ sequestration is similar to existing oil and gas fields operations, however, there are important differences which require adaptation of the industry’s subsurface knowledge to this new application.

The essential questions for any CO₂ storage project are: (a) where can we store the CO₂? (b) how much CO₂ can we inject? (c) can we store it safely? And (d) can we store it cost-effectively? This course will address these questions by using historical practices developed in the oil and gas industry and adapting engineering design concepts to the CO₂ storage task.
