Details

valuating the risks for CO2 storage is a key aspect in determining the technical viability of such projects. This course will explain coupled phenomena in terms of i) reservoir conformance and ii) storage integrity by discussing the principles of coupled processes affected mainly by changes in pressure (effective stress), temperature and geochemistry in subsurface storage and sealing formations. These changes will affect flow and transport as well as geomechanical stability and impact the long-term predictability of conformance and containment. Through this course you will learn how coupled processes are implemented in real-world CO2 storage projects to assess related risks. You will gain an understanding of the coupled processes in CO2 storage reservoirs to make your own assessment of short to long-term risks for reservoir conformance prediction and containment, and you will obtain an introduction into the fundamental coupled processes expected to occur in subsurface.
