Risk Assessment & Verification For Carbon Capture Projects Course

Richard Baker

Subscribe View Sample Lesson 9:29 hours

This course offers in-depth training on Risk Assessment and Monitoring, Measurement, and Verification (MMV) for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. It covers practical, field case study-based insights focusing on operational risk factors including geomechanics, seismicity, and legacy wellbores. The course emphasizes identifying and minimizing risks associated with CO₂ injection, particularly vertical leakage pathways like faults and fractures. Participants will also explore workflows for risk analysis and learn to balance project cost and safety effectively. The content caters to various expertise levels and is essential considering the anticipated growth in CCS projects worldwide.Read more...
