Programme Overview

Course Description

The "Subsurface Aspects for CO2 Storage" training course provides a comprehensive overview of the key processes and techniques involved in carbon capture and storage (CCS). Participants will gain insights into the motivation and goals of CCS, the fluid properties of CO2, and the interaction with reservoir fluids. The course covers essential topics such as site screening, selection, and pilot projects, as well as methods for capacity assessment and ensuring safe containment of CO2. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical case studies, attendees will be equipped with the skills needed to address the challenges of CO2 storage.
