Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Project Risks and How to Manage Them
Consultant/Trainer: Marcel Bouts/Peter van den Bogert
The Petrogenium Carbon Capture and Storage course will guide participants to develop key concepts and techniques to identify, assess, and manage risks in CCS projects with focus on CO2 injection and storage. These key concepts can be utilized to make optimized technical and operational decisions without endangering the integrity of CCS assets. This training gives yourself and your employees the keys to success of reducing risk for the full life cycle of carbon storage projects.

Participants
This course aims at improving competencies of all surface and subsurface engineers — geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, petrophysicists, production technologists/engineers, well engineers, geomechanical specialists, facility engineers — in terms of understanding the CCS engineering issues faced by complex energy transition projects. It is also possible to benefit from an exclusive technical services arrangement from Petrogenium after the training. Participants can be from a diverse spectrum of both young and experienced engineers. The training includes both theoretical and practical hands-on sessions with case studies and exercises. The training can also be structured to address specific issues faced by a particular CCS project/operating company.
Learning Objectives
Understanding of CCS project risk management, enabling further optimization and troubleshooting:
- CCS in an international context – organizations, research efforts, demo projects, findings
- Site selection and site characterization – reservoir modelling methodology, model framing techniques, tools to assess the container
- Storage capacity assessment – requirements (physics modelling) and uncertainties to assess CO2 storage capacity of a selected site
- Injectivity assessment – design of new CO2 injection wells, well injectivity for CO2 & phase behaviour
- Containment assessment – leakage along well paths, well integrity assessment, leakage through top seal, fault reactivation & induced seismicity
- Measurement, Monitoring & Verification (MMV) – monitoring objectives, design of monitoring programmes, integrated risk assessment
