Abstract

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) can play a pivotal role in decarbonising various hard-to-abate sectors and support an enabling environment to achieve the global energy transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon future. CO2 injection into geological formations is a complex multiphase multicomponent flow system challenge which involves coupling geomechanical, geochemical, and non-isothermal effects to understand the fluid-fluid and rock-fluid behaviour within the CO2 storage unit. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the significance, opportunities, and challenges of developing CCS storage sites and its potential impact on the energy transition. Valuable lessons from real-world examples within the Oil & Gas and CCS industries will be explored to demonstrate how the integration of pressure and sand management and control systems can be used to increase the likelihood of having successful CCS projects. Industry practitioners and researchers will find the synthesised insights from research and practice useful in accelerating their understanding of the incremental improvements, technological fixes, and radical shifts around industrial CCS projects that will be required to support the energy transition.
