CO₂ Utilization and Storage: The Role of Reservoir Evaluation in CCUS

Reservoir evaluation plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of CO2 storage as part of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain. Effective evaluation ensures that the selected reservoirs have the necessary characteristics—such as adequate porosity, permeability, and structural integrity—to securely store CO2 over the long term. It also helps to identify potential risks, such as leakage pathways or pressure buildup, and enables the design of safe injection strategies. Through thorough geological and geophysical assessments, reservoir evaluation ensures the efficient, safe, and sustainable deployment of CO2 storage, contributing significantly to reducing the environmental impact of industrial CO2 emissions
