Title: Environmental Testing and Monitoring at Carbon Capture and Sequestration Sites
Description: Proactive monitoring is required at carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) sites to address three key performance criteria: conformance with the proposed injection plan, containment of the gas within the injection zone, and identification of environmental effects, if present. Through detailed site characterization and environmental monitoring, including a robust baseline dataset, a reliable monitoring network, and an understanding of gas migration from deep strata, the operator of CCS projects can reliably detect and attribute anomalous carbon dioxide levels to natural variation versus a leak from the storage reservoir. This presentation will provide an overview of the environmental monitoring considerations and regulatory requirements for geologic CCS projects.
