CCUS Well Design and Monitoring

Overview

The CCUS Well Design and Monitoring workshop, scheduled for May 12-15, 2025, is an essential training event for professionals involved in the carbon capture and storage sector. This interactive, four half-day masterclass will delve into the integrity of wells that are critical for CO2 containment, particularly in the context of enhanced oil recovery and geological storage.

Key Topics

Participants will explore the behavior of CO2 in geological formations, the impact of contaminants, and the challenges posed by older wells that may not be designed for CO2 injection. The workshop will cover:

• Fundamentals of carbon utilization and storage

• The effects of CO2 on cement, steel, and rock

• Monitoring technologies and techniques, including pressure testing and logging

• Regulatory standards affecting well evaluation and construction

The course is designed for subsurface professionals from various domains, including drilling, well integrity, and reservoir engineering. It aims to provide hands-on experience and real-life case studies, fostering a collaborative environment for networking and problem-solving.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the workshop, attendees will be equipped to critically assess the risks associated with existing wells in CO2 environments and to implement best practices for new well designs. This training is particularly relevant as the industry seeks to enhance the safety and efficiency of CCUS projects, addressing the urgent need for effective carbon management solutions.
