This four-day course provides participants with comprehensive knowledge of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) and its practical applications in saline aquifers and depleted gas reservoirs. The program is field case–based and incorporates real-world examples and analogs to enhance understanding.

The course begins with an introduction to CCUS fundamentals, including project workflow, economic considerations, CO₂ properties, trapping mechanisms, storage capacity, storage efficiency, and injectivity. Participants will gain insight into how CCUS projects are evaluated from both technical and economic perspectives.

On the second day, the focus shifts to injectivity performance, plume migration behavior, risk analysis, and the impacts of fractures, faults, legacy wellbores, and geomechanics. The trade-offs between Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) requirements and project costs are also examined.

The third day covers reservoir characterization, simulation approaches, well design considerations, and specific monitoring techniques used in CCUS projects.

On the final day, participants integrate risk assessment, MMV strategies, and economic evaluation, supported by detailed field case studies. By the end of the course, attendees will be able to objectively assess CCUS projects—both independently of simulation models and through the interpretation of feasibility-phase simulation results.
