Advanced Carbon Storage Research and Development Project Portfolio

Secure storage includes geomechanical analyses to assure caprock integrity and monitoring in the deep subsurface (both above and below the storage reservoir), in the shallow subsurface, and at, and above, the ground surface to detect and quantify leakage, should it occur.
