WORKSHOP INFORMATION

Success of CO₂ Capture and Storage (CCS) technology depends on the safe, secure and long-term storage of CO₂ at large-scale (mega tonnes per site).  Upward migration and leakage of injected CO₂ along faults is a key risk.  The aim of the workshop is to gain understanding on how faults could influence long-term storage of CO₂.  The workshop will build from oil and gas industry experiences, as well as the research community, to gain a clear perspective on fault properties that are important to CO₂ storage.  The 1-day will event will provide an opportunity to review laboratory experiments, field studies and modelling results to gain insights on the importance of faults for CO₂ storage.  Current practices to evaluate fault seal as well as critical technical gaps will be discussed.

The workshop will provide an opportunity to review current research on CO₂ controlled release experiments and what can be learnt from them plus the contribution from simulations.  The 1-day event will document critical issues for CO₂ storage related to faults, the experience of current experimental work and identify remaining gaps in knowledge.
