CCUS | Risky business? 

byHeather Leahey

CO2 containment risk has become one of the most popular topics among our clients evaluating CCUS projects. Operators need to understand and evaluate subsurface features that could trigger CO2 migration and containment losses as well as introduce additional safety, reputational and financial risks. These considerations are also important aspects of the Class VI application process for permanent CO2 sequestration.
