The Global Status of CCS: 2014
5th November 2014
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 capture, CO2 storage, CO2 transport, CO2 utilisation
The Global CCS Institute is pleased to announce the release of our Global Status of CCS: 2014 report.
The report provides a detailed overview of the current status of large-scale CCS projects worldwide, finding that 2014 has been a pivotal year for CCS, which is now a reality in the power industry.
For the first time, the report introduces and provides links to project descriptions for around 40 lesser scale ‘notable’ CCS projects. The 2014 report focuses on a number of ‘notable’ projects in Japan.
The Global Status of CCS: 2014 report provides a comprehensive overview of global and regional developments in CCS and what is required to support global climate mitigation efforts. Providing a number of key recommendations for decision makers, The Global Status of CCS: 2014 report is an important reference guide for industry, government, research bodies and the broader community.

23rd October 2014
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Public engagement, Social research
The South West Hub Carbon Capture and Storage Project team, led by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) is committed to an open process of community involvement during all stages of the project. The project team host regular community information sessions and make regular appearances at local agricultural shows. In October 2014 the project team released this report, ‘Lessons from Project Level Community Engagement’ that discusses the impacts and effects of the public engagement program undertaken by DMP.
This report is written by Peta Ashworth, Ash Research, for ANLEC R&D.

Report on CSLF Task Force 6 on reviewing best practices and standards for geologic storage and monitoring of CO2
10th October 2014
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage
This presentation is intended for those who want a quick look at available standards, guidelines and best practice manuals to safe and efficient storage of CO2. It is based on the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum report Reviewing Best Practices and Standards for Geologic Storage and Monitoring of CO2, an Initial Compilation of Standards, Best Practices and Guidelines for CO2 Storage and Monitoring.
This content has been incorporated into openCCS: Storage, the handbook for delivering carbon capture storage (CCS) projects brought to you by the Global CCS Institute.

Legal liability and carbon capture and storage: a comparative perspective
1st October 2014
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage, Liability, Policy law and regulation
Legal liability issues remain critically important for the commercial development of carbon capture and storage (CCS). This co-authored report by Global CCS Institute and University College London largely focusses on the storage aspect of the CCS process. Storage is where the most distinctive liability challenges lie, largely due to the long time-scales involved.
The authors address three types of legal liability:
- Civil liability where third parties who have suffered harm seek compensation or a court order.
- Administrative liability where authorities are given powers to serve some form of enforcement or clean-up order.
- Emissions trading liability where an emissions trading regime provides a benefit for CO2 storage and an accounting mechanism is in place should there be subsequent leakage.

Geochemical and geomechanical testing of near wellbore CO2 injectivity improvement
1st October 2014
Topic(s): CO2 storage
Geochemical and geomechanical testing of near wellbore CO2 injectivity improvement project encompassed three key parts, discussed in this report, aimed at supporting Australian CO2 geosequestration field demonstration and commercial projects.
Lab experiments were conducted on archived and fresh cores from the target formations of the Wandoan CCS project in the Surat Basin, Queensland and Berea Sandstone supplied by ANLEC R&D for the purpose of benchmarking of permeability results across related ANLEC R&D projects.
Geomechanical tests provided the basis for stress/permeability relationships.

Harvey 2D test seismic survey – issues and optimisations: final report
20th August 2014
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage
This study validates the use of smaller sized vehicles to acquire signals in areas where access is not possible by conventional large vehicles in a 3D seismic survey. The study also demonstrated the best sweep characteristics to provide high resolution imaging of the shallow sections and delivered high resolution seismic images for the shallow sediments (<1000m) in the region of the Southwest Hub. The enhanced knowledge of the fault patterns at shallow depths also contributes to improved decision making for planning the next phase of reservoir characterisation activity at the site.

Predicting CO2 injectivity properties for application at CCS sites: final report
1st July 2014
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage
In any geological storage project it will be necessary to characterise the reservoir from core samples taken during exploratory drilling. This project uses four co-located specialist laboratories at the Australian Resources Research Centre (ARRC) Perth. It was able to demonstrate the development of a work-flow for unconventional detailed analysis of the reservoir characteristics that can inform decisions and reduce risk in the initiation of a carbon dioxide storage project.

Improved discretisation and dynamic modelling of CO2 solubility during injection and subsequent convective dispersion
10th June 2014
Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage
Based on the Precipice sandstone of the Surat Basin, this CSIRO study looks at some of the errors generated in the numerical simulation of CO2 migration and dissolution that are caused by the necessity of using large grid blocks in the simulation of field size projects. In the injection stage of a simulation, large grid blocks will cause an overestimation of the amount of CO2 that will dissolve in the formation brine.
The study addresses some of the shortcomings in the scientific literature regarding the effects of coarse grids on the convective mixing process and proposes a scheme for correcting the observed error in the convection enhanced dissolution by using grid corrected fluid or reservoir properties.
