Publication Overview

The third meeting of the monitoring and verification network met in Melbourne, Australia over 3 days in October and November 2006. The meeting’s objective was to provide an integrated set of monitoring and verification (M&V) guidelines to encourage further public, regulatory and technical community discussion for wide scale deployment of CCS technology. The objectives were realised by addressing the questions:

  • What is the framework of a Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Verification (MERV) protocol for wide scale CCS deployment?
  • How do we provide assurance of storage integrity through well, seal and containment monitoring technology?
The meeting brought together national and international government regulatory agencies, non-government organisations and Monitoring and Verification (M&V) technical communities in an intensive series of workshops. It was followed by a field visit by train to the site of the CO₂CRC Otway Basin Pilot Project (OBPP) in South West Victoria.

Publication Summary

The third Monitoring Network Workshop built on the material presented and discussed at the
first two meetings held in Santa Cruz, California 2004 and Rome 2005. These meetings had a
principle focus of bringing together, through presentation and discussion, both the regulatory
groups involved in setting monitoring programmes associated with CO₂ storage and those
projects that are implementing such programmes in different environments.

  • The inaugural meeting of the Monitoring Network demonstrated that there is a large
    tool box of monitoring techniques that can be applied to both surface and sub-surface
    monitoring of CO₂.
  • The second meeting focused on what were the monitoring requirements and how
    would they be defined with respect to risk and regulatory requirements.
  • The third Monitoring meeting further enhanced the dialogue of regulatory and
    technical integration, with joint development of Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting
    and Verification (MERV) guidelines.

Insurance Coverage for CO₂ Storage Projects

  • 16 August 2024
  • Industry Insights
  • Storage

This report is a focused review of recent developments regarding insurance coverage for carbon dioxide (CO₂) geological storage projects. It seeks to address the following: what companies are offering or planning to offer insurance to CO₂ storage projects, what is the scope and duration of the coverage offered, and does coverage extend to the transportation of CO₂ to the project site? This work and report was prepared by Franz Hiebert.

6th International Workshop on Offshore Geologic CO₂ Storage

  • 1 December 2023
  • Event Proceedings
  • Storage

The 6th International Workshop on Offshore Geologic CO₂ Storage was held in Aberdeen on 13-14 September. Organised with the University of Texas and hosted by the University of Aberdeen. The loca on was very appropriate as we were co-hosted and sponsored by Storegga who leads the Acorn project nearby in Scotland. This project had been recently announced by the UK government as a Track 2 Cluster project. This 6th workshop had 190 delegates (60 in-person and 130 virtual) from 35 countries, with a good mix of industry, researchers and regulators.

Monitoring Network Meeting Report

  • 1 December 2023
  • Event Proceedings
  • Storage

The IEAGHG Monitoring Network aims to assess new technologies and techniques in the monitoring of CO₂ storage, determine the limitations, accuracy and applicability of monitoring techniques, disseminate information from research and pilot storage projects around the world, develop extensive monitoring guidelines for the different sub-categories of geological storage; oil and gas fields, unmineable coal seams, and saline aquifers covering the differing conditions and reservoir properties encountered globally as well as to engage with relevant regulatory bodies.
