Risk Assessment & Verification For Carbon Capture Projects Course

Richard Baker

This focused course is designed to address aspects of Monitoring, Measurement and Verification (MMV) plans, particularly those related to operations, surveillance, geomechanics and seismicity. The emphasis is on assessing risk and collecting data to meet MMV requirements and support the success of projects. The course will discuss how to best balance meeting requirements with minimizing both risk and costs. The course is field case study based and practical.
Looking into the future, the world is going to need 50 to 100 times more CCS projects than currently exist, even in the planning stages, and the industry will be tasked with how to decrease costs while assessing and minimizing risk.Read more...
