Mapping and Quantifying CO2 in the Subsurface

Workshop 8
6 June 2022
Room I
Conveners: Nazmul Haque Mondol (University of Oslo and Norwegian Geotechnical Institute)
Manika Prasad (Colorado School of Mines)
Bahman Bohloli (Norwegian Geotechnical Institute)
Christian Berndt (GEOMAR)
Ziqiu Xue (Research Institute of Innovation Technology for the Earth)

Workshop Description

The workshop will address the current state of the art concerning safe geological CO2 storage through characterisation and modeling of injectivity and storage capacity of reservoir rocks, the integrity of seal and overburden rocks, monitoring CO2 storage sites, fault reactivation and possible caprock failure related to CO2 injection, CO2-EOR and remedial actions in case of an undesired CO2 leakage. The full-day workshop will address methods and tools that can demonstrate a safe and environmentally friendly geological CO2 storage and utilisation of CO2 for EOR. The workshop is hoping to gain knowledge from various fields and demonstration projects worldwide with contributions from industry and academia.In this workshop, we have planned to invite specialists from academia and industry to give talks. Also, we like to invite all interested in the topic to submit abstracts for oral presentations to present case-studies showcasing methods, tools, challenges, and uncertainties related to safe CO2 storage.

Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop:

  • Reservoir characterization and flow simulation
  • Caprock quality/integrity
  • Wellbore integrity
  • Fault reactivation
  • Fluid-rock interaction
  • CO2-EOR
  • Monitoring CO2 storage sites
  • Mitigation methods in case of CO2 leakage
  • Public outreach 
  • Case studies 

Participant Profile

The target audience comprises Geoscientists, Engineers, and policymakers who are working on geological CO2 sequestration and CO2-EOR, energy storage, or waste disposal in industry or academia to solve challenges for mapping, modeling, and managing a safe geological CO2 storage and CO2-EOR.
