Session 4: Ongoing H2 and CCS R&D Requirements and Current Initiatives

07 Oct 2025

Session Chairs: Dylan Lougheed, SAGA Wisdom; Wendy Wen, GLJ

This session will explore ongoing initiatives focused on enhancing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) modeling by merging surface and subsurface models. We will assess key risks such as phase instability in CO₂ transportation and storage through multi-well injection case studies in a clastic reservoir. Additionally, we will review the strengths and limitations of CCS measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) technologies based on field trials conducted at the Newell County Field Research Station (FRS). Lastly, we'll discuss the importance of including non-traditional stakeholders in the RACI framework for the FEED and DBM phases of hydrogen, CCS, and other capital projects that leverage environmental attributes for monetization.

Presentations:
