Essential measurements for carbon storage evaluation

Optimizing carbon storage starts with understanding the reservoir. Grasping the concepts of capacity, injectivity, and containment is paramount, whether you're dealing with a depleted reservoir or a saline aquifer.

To comprehensively understand each of these, SLB has meticulously crafted dedicated workflows. Measurements from these workflows serve as a fundamental baseline for appraising the carbon storage site, as well as the development and execution of a carbon storage monitoring program. This ensures a well-informed and effective approach to carbon sequestration.

Get rid of the guesswork with complete, dedicated solutions and insights from SLB.
