Carbon Capture Wells – The same, but different

Carbon Capture Wells – The same, but different With Michael Byrne, Elemental Energies Abstract This lecture will introduce carbon capture wells and highlight some of the unique challenges faced with constructing these wells. The similarities with conventional oil, gas and water wells will be explored and the differences will be explained. The lecture will touch on well integrity, injectivity challenges, chemical processes and some innovative modelling and testing approaches that can help in the design of CO2 injection wells. The differences between different CO2 store types will be explained…
