Geologic Carbon Storage

This eLearning course covers the basic requirements for viable geologic or subsurface storage of CO2. It includes a review of the attributes needed for a good project and compares the different types of storage currently being implemented. The course also reviews a high-level workflow for screening projects and examples of projects in the industry.

Target Audience

Designed for technical or non-technical audiences, including engineers, geoscientists, finance, accounting, and operations professionals who want a basic understanding of the project life cycle, the fundamentals of CO2 capture and technology readiness, and transportation options.

You Will Learn

• Differentiate the various types of subsurface storage being utilized in the industry
• Explain the differences between saline aquifer storage, depleted oils and gas field storage, and EOR
• Describe the use of reservoir simulation to model CO2 storage in aquifers, gas reservoirs with aquifers, and depleted reservoirs for EOR
• Identify the subsurface workflow needed to define a storage project fully
• Identify the data needed to initiate a CCS project, a design basis related to the CCS value chain
• Compare and contrast subsurface oil and gas workflows with CO2 storage
• Compare three global CCS saline storage projects that are in operation:
  • Gorgon
  • Snøhvit
  • ADM Decatur
• Identify the key challenges and solutions
