CCS (Carbon capture and storage)

OVERVIEW

CCS (carbon capture and storage) and recovery of CO2 is a solution that effectively reduces CO2 emissions, the main cause of global warming. How? Besides industrial reuse, it can be stored permanently and safely underground. This security is due to the optimization of the selection of the storage site and especially to its monitoring, which can last between several years and several centuries.

WHY SERCEL

Sercel solutions include exciting and proven options for permanent monitoring services with the development of new sensors, acquisition and monitoring solutions using DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing), Quietseis mems in cabled or wireless sensors as DSU1-508 or Wing, and S-scan software (high-resolution visualization and analysis for characterization of near-surface variability).

APPLICATIONS

Confident in land exploration for site ranking?

When it comes to storage site selection and feasibility, we apply the full breadth of our expertise and resources for a rigorous assessment against our multi-criteria Storage Site Quality Index (SSQI) criteria. These include key parameters such as cap rock strength, reservoir wettability and fluid phase geochemistry. The result is a consistent and transparent ranking of storage sites which quantifies reservoir suitability, containment risks and encompasses surface economic factors, such as infrastructure and regulatory requirements.

CCS Offshore injection monitoring with MicrOBS by Perenco

CO2 injection is the geologic storage of carbon dioxide, or CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage). The use of old oil and gas platforms for CO2 injection poses several technical, regulatory, environmental, and economic challenges.
