Course Description
This intensive workshop focuses on assessing and managing the risk of legacy wells in CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) projects. Legacy wells penetrating a storage complex represent one of the principal containment risks for CO2 storage, and their assessment is critical to project safety and regulatory approval.
The workshop provides a practical framework for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating legacy well risk, drawing on real CCUS project experience. Originally delivered by BII Research as a focused 4 half-day workshop format.
What you will achieve
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Understand the role of legacy wells as a containment risk in CO2 storage
- Identify and inventory legacy wells within a storage complex
- Assess well integrity and leakage pathways
- Apply risk assessment methodologies to legacy wells
- Develop mitigation and remediation strategies
- Support regulatory compliance for CO2 storage permits
- Integrate legacy well risk into overall storage site assessment
How the course is delivered
Delivered as an intensive workshop combining expert instruction with practical risk assessment exercises. The programme uses real CCUS project scenarios to build practical competence in legacy well risk evaluation.
The focused format concentrates on the specific containment challenge that legacy wells present to CO2 storage.
Designed for
This workshop is ideal for:
- Subsurface and reservoir engineers in CCUS
- Well integrity engineers
- CO2 storage project managers
- Regulatory and compliance specialists
- Technical advisors on storage site assessment
