Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects must be safe, environmentally sustainable, regulatory compliant, and cost-effective. Accurate and efficient subsurface evaluation and monitoring provide assurance that CCS wells will operate reliably for their relatively long (>40 years) lifespan and seal dependably post-injection (>100 years).
Join Schlumberger experts Rahul Grover and Nick Fundytus as they discuss how existing reservoir evaluation techniques and new applications with fiberoptics are providing CCS operators the assurance needed to operate with integrity.
This Tech Talk is categorized under the Reservoir technical discipline.
