The European Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Demonstration Project Network (the "Network") is currently composed of projects located in the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, UK. goal to accelerate deployment CCS by sharing project development experiences about technology implementation, including transport storage CO2, as well regulatory environment financial structures. This paper aims provide an overview some insights gained from developing projects. Besides development, knowledge lessons...

Abstract This paper presents the development of a tool to perform risk assessment for deep geothermal projects. The is aimed at project developers help them present their local authority, decision-makers and financers so they can highlight how take into account risks consider mitigation measures minimize them. main criteria this are simplicity use, quality presentation flexibility. It based on results from H2020 GEORISK that identified apply projects proposed insurance schemes all over...

Before the full implementation of CO2 capture and storage, a demonstration its safety is needed through reliable risk management methods. One important aspect development mitigation measures that prevent any to environment or human health. This paper presents database includes set measures, their description main properties, references. They are organised in connection with detailed approach events developed into bow-tie diagrams by BRGM. The goal help setting up corrective measure plans...

The injection or extraction of fluids in the subsurface for energy purposes (e.g. geothermal exploitation, CO 2 storage geological storage) requires both operation efficiency and associated environmental risks to be assessed controlled. Even though scientific technological progress allows more accurate 3D modelling subsurface, we still do not have a thorough understanding coupled underground hydromechanical processes. Indeed, production interacting with existing features can result...

Geothermal energy production and CCS (Carbon Capture Storage) represent promising technological solutions to help mitigate climate change aid the current global crisis. In recent years, number of concepts that propose combine mutualize these technologies has risen dramatically. While a (notably CPG CO2-EGS) use supercritical CO2 as heat vector, another route for hybridization is inject dissolved in geothermal brine. This focus our work. An extensive literature review was carried out...

If a leakage of CO2 out geological reservoir were to happen and reach the vadose zone below building, could migrate through building's slab accumulate in leading possible acute risk for inhabitants. A representative-scale experiment, including prototype was developed better understand quantify this risk. It brought fruitful directions further modeling work, since unexplained peaks observed prototype. Numerical simulations carried address variability concentrations considering influence soil...

Risk management is an essential part of any industrial operation, and relevant for CO2 injection storage. not only to ensure that there will be no detrimental impacts public health or the environment, but also as a means building trust in stakeholders. Operational risk can divided into three parts, namely: 1) assessment, where studied (this phase commonly involves numerical modelling); 2) monitoring during operations order check evolution site line with pre-activity assessment; 3) mitigation...

The objective of this paper is to test different methods for detecting anomalies in environmental monitoring CO2 geological storage sites. This type relies on a baseline that performed before injection. Data collected during injection are then compared order detect deviations from normal behavior. A robust method anomalous measurements would have few false positives (i.e. when an anomaly wrongly detected) and negatives (when real not detected). We use dataset soil gas were 36 locations the...

Current deployment rate of CCS technology is currently not on track for a substantial contribution to net zero in 2050. Four types factors can explain this slow deployment: technical, societal, economic, and political factors. We argue that the main barriers are economic political. As way overcome these barriers, there possibility consider hybridization CO2 storage with geothermal energy. four concepts: CO2-Dissolved, which consists injecting dissolved injection well standard doublet; Plume...

Abstract The seismicity evolution in Oklahoma between 2010 and 2018 is analyzed systematically using an epidemic-type aftershock sequence model. To retrieve the nonstationary component, we use a moving window of 200 events, each within radius 20 km at grid points spaced every 0.2°. Fifty-three areas total are selected for our analysis. background rate μ successfully retrieved toward its peak end 2014 during 2015, whereas triggering parameter K stable, slightly decreasing when activated....

Handling potentially conflicting information coming from experts when other available data are scarce or nonexistent is an important issue for subsurface operations, especially projects in the early stages of development. The problem tackled this study concerns CO2 geological storage technology and more specifically estimation, a specific project, injected plume extent reservoir. For that purpose, on minimum, median maximum values porosity parameter have been collected 14 different experts....
