Explore the critical aspects of subsurface integrity in CO₂ sequestration projects through this 46-minute technical presentation from the Permian Basin Knowledge Forum 2025. Learn from Karim Zaki, Geomechanics Team Lead at Chevron, as he discusses the essential requirements for ensuring geological formations safely and permanently contain injected CO₂ as part of global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions. Discover the geomechanical challenges inherent in CO₂ storage projects, including the complex interactions between injected carbon dioxide and subsurface rock formations. Examine caprock and wellbore integrity considerations that are fundamental to preventing CO₂ migration and ensuring long-term containment security. Understand advanced monitoring and verification techniques used to track CO₂ behavior underground and confirm storage effectiveness over time. Gain insights into proven risk mitigation strategies and valuable lessons learned from actual field operations in carbon sequestration projects. Benefit from Chevron's extensive experience in subsurface engineering as Zaki shares practical approaches to addressing the technical challenges of large-scale CO₂ storage implementation, making this presentation essential viewing for professionals working in carbon capture and storage, geomechanics, reservoir engineering, and energy transition technologies.
