H53H:
Risk Assessment and Monitoring Techniques for Geological CO2 Sequestration III Posters


Session ID#: 9794

Session Description:
Carbon dioxide capture & storage (CCS) has been considered as a promising option to mitigate impacts of climate change by reduction of CO2 emissions. Numerical simulations, geostatistical approaches, and reduced order models are becoming common tools for CCS projects to quantify uncertainties and design appropriate monitoring plans. This session seeks contributions focused on CCS risk assessment and monitoring techniques. Topics include: (1) multi-phase flow and reactive transport simulations for risk assessment strategy development and monitoring design; (2) uncertainty quantification methods, especially for reservoir pressure management, CO2 migration forecasting, risks of CO2 leakage or associated impacts in all parts of the geologic CCS system, (3) advanced methods and techniques for qualitative and quantitative risk assessment and monitoring of CCS projects;  (4) comprehensive, system-level risk assessment incorporating technical and operational (or programmatic) aspects of CCS projects, and (5) approaches for using monitoring data to reduce uncertainty in predictive modeling and risk assessment.
