| 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM |
| Room 09 |
Details
This workshop gathers leading operators, regulators and innovators to share real CCS field learnings and cutting-edge MMV methods. We will explore detectability, cost, benefits, and limitations of geophysical monitoring in diverse reservoirs, and debate how to confidently demonstrate conformance and containment. Join us to shape good practice in CO₂ storage.
