About this Training Course
This 5-day CCS training programme combines advanced classroom learning with an exclusive technical site visit to two of Norway’s most significant CCS facilities. Designed for professionals involved in carbon capture and storage projects, the programme provides both the technical foundation and the practical industry exposure needed to understand storage site compliance in line with ISO 27914.
Over the first four days, participants will develop a structured understanding of the key technical, operational and certification considerations for CO₂ storage sites, including site selection, risk assessment, monitoring, verification, containment assurance and compliance documentation. The training is designed to help participants interpret ISO 27914 requirements with greater confidence and apply them in real project and certification contexts.
On Day 5, participants will take part in an exclusive technical site visit to Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) and the Northern Lights CCS project. This provides a rare opportunity to see how core CCS concepts are translated into operational practice — from capture and transport interfaces to monitoring systems, HSE controls and risk management across the CCS value chain.
By combining technical training with direct industry exposure, the programme offers a more complete learning experience than classroom instruction alone. Participants leave not only with a stronger understanding of ISO 27914 compliance requirements, but also with valuable insight into how CCS infrastructure is implemented and managed in real-world operations.
Exclusive CCS Industry Site Visit | Day 5
Participants will gain direct exposure to:
- Industrial CO₂ capture activities at TCM
- CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure at Northern Lights
- Monitoring and verification systems in practice
- Applied HSE and operational risk management
- How compliance requirements connect to real CCS operations
Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM)
One of the world’s leading CO₂ capture test centres, offering insight into industrial-scale capture technologies and operational learning.
Northern Lights Project
A flagship CO₂ transport and storage development, offering direct visibility into how large-scale CCS infrastructure is implemented in practice.
1. What is CCS Compliance for Storage Sites?
CCS Compliance for Storage Sites means showing that a CO2 storage site can operate safely and perform as expected. It includes site selection, risk assessment, containment, monitoring, and documentation. ISO 27914 helps project teams assess these areas in a structured way.
2. Why is storage site compliance important in CCS projects?
Storage site compliance matters because captured CO2 must stay securely contained over the long term. It helps teams confirm storage capacity, injectivity, and seal integrity. As a result, operators can reduce uncertainty and support better technical and regulatory decisions.
3. What data do teams need to assess a CO2 storage site?
Teams need geological, hydrogeological, geochemical, and geomechanical data. They also assess the reservoir, caprock, faults, and nearby wells. Next, they model CO2 movement, pressure changes, and possible leakage pathways. This evidence helps determine whether a site is suitable for long-term storage.
4. How does monitoring support CCS Compliance for Storage Sites?
Monitoring helps teams track CO2 movement and confirm that the storage site performs as expected. For example, it can measure plume migration, pressure behaviour, and containment over time. Therefore, monitoring is central to CCS Compliance for Storage Sites because it provides evidence, not just assumptions.
5. How does ISO 27914 differ from CCS regulations?
ISO 27914 gives project teams a technical framework for geological CO2 storage. By contrast, regulations set legal duties, permits, and reporting rules. Many operators use both together. This approach helps them align technical storage assessments with local compliance requirements.
