CO₂ Injection & Storage Modeling FROM ZERO TO HERO

CCS modelling for next generation energy

What you’ll learn
Build complete CO2 storage models including fluids, rock, grid, wells, and schedules.
Run compositional simulations to predict plume migration, pressure buildup, and trapping over time
Calibrate EOS and key parameters using lab/field data, and validate results with diagnostic plots
Assess storage performance and risk via sensitivity studies: injectivity, containment, and monitoring indicators.

Description
CO₂ storage is one of the most important technologies for reaching net-zero, yet many learners get stuck between high-level theory and the practical steps required to build a working model. This course is designed to close that gap. You will learn a clear, step-by-step workflow to construct CO₂ storage models, run meaningful simulation cases, and interpret results with confidence—so you can move from “understanding CCS” to actually modeling it in a professional way. You will practice how to set up the reservoir framework, define rock and fluid properties, choose injection constraints and schedules, and apply realistic boundary conditions. Along the way, you will learn how to check model sanity, avoid common mistakes, and understand which inputs truly control outcomes.

A major focus is on interpreting outputs that matter for storage performance and safety: plume migration and footprint, pressure buildup and pressure dissipation, injectivity trends, storage efficiency, and indicators that guide risk-aware decisions. You will also learn how to design scenario studies and sensitivity runs to explore uncertainty in permeability, porosity, relative permeability effects, heterogeneity, and operational settings—then summarize results in a clear, decision-ready way using practical plots and reporting templates.

By the end of the course, you will have a reusable modeling workflow you can apply to research projects, industry-style studies, or thesis work. This course is ideal for students, early-career engineers, and researchers who want hands-on CO₂ storage modeling skills, a structured approach to simulation, and the confidence to explain and defend results in meetings, papers, or presentations.
