Through the support of the CO₂ Subcommittee of the Research Committee
Implementing carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) projects at large scales is becoming a growing subject of interest for the geophysics community. This workshop will present what is already achievable but also the unknown and specificities that the geophysical community will face in the future. Technical presentations will serve as an opening for discussion between the audience and the invited speakers.
Implementing carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) projects at large scales is becoming a growing subject of interest for the geophysics community. Massive storage tanks will be needed, either in regional saline aquifers or in depleted oil and gas fields. Geophysical experience from standard oil and gas projects will have to be transferred and developed to address known but also new challenges, such as regional saline aquifer exploration and characterization. This workshop will present what is already achievable but also the unknown and specificities that the geophysical community will face in the future. Technical presentations will serve as an opening for discussion between the audience and the invited speakers.
