Details

This hands-on workshop focuses on the practical application of Special Core Analysis (SCAL) for supercritical CO₂–brine systems in geological carbon storage projects, with a strong emphasis on core-to-field workflows. Participants will actively work through quality control of laboratory coreflood data and translate SCAL inputs directly into reservoir simulation models. The workshop explores how SCAL governs CO₂ trapping mechanisms, injectivity, plume migration, and storage capacity, and how uncertainty in relative permeability and hysteresis affects storage performance. Using reservoir simulation tools, participants will evaluate compositional and thermal effects, test SCAL uncertainty scenarios across different rock types, and assess their impact on plume evolution, trapping efficiency, storability, and injectivity.
