Publication Overview
There are currently several carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) projects around the world with extensive monitoring programs. A review and new results for many of these were presented. As this meeting was held in the USA, a session was given to the work being carried out by the US Regional Partnerships (USRPs). This includes projects at various phases, including several at validation phase, planning phase and ongoing development phase. The latter includes the Cranfield site in Mississippi.
Publication Summary
Key outcomes from the meeting are that there has been a big shift in the breadth and quality of work being done. There are more details, more knowledge and more projects from which to learn. However, there needs to be more data integration of geochemical, geophysical and modelling work, as well as more research on permanent installations and developing techniques such as microseismic monitoring.
