🔎 CO₂ storage: why is monitoring essential?
Carbon capture and geological storage aims to keep CO₂ out of the atmosphere over the long term by storing it in suitable deep geological formations. After injection, site monitoring helps track its behavior in the reservoir, wells, groundwater and at the surface.
🪨 From the reservoir to the surface
CO₂ monitoring relies on several types of surveillance deployed at different levels of the site, from the deep reservoir to the surface. Together, they help track CO₂ behavior, well integrity, groundwater conditions and subsurface responses in order to detect potential unusual changes.
