De-risk Carbon Storage with Integrated Digital Core Analysis
Accelerating seal integrity, injectivity and long-term storage confidence through integrated digital core analysis.
-
Seal integrity & capillary entry pressure
-
CO₂–rock interaction & mineral reactivity
-
Injection pressure & geomechanical limits
-
Dynamic CO₂ flow & hydrate risk testing
The CCUS Challenge
-
Successful carbon storage depends on multiple interacting risks:
-
Seal integrity under long-term CO₂ exposure
-
Accurate capillary entry pressure
-
Mineral reactions and porosity evolution
-
Injection pressure constraints
-
Geomechanical stability
-
Scaling from core to reservoir
-
Traditional workflows are slow, fragmented, and often reactive — leading to late-stage surprises and increased project risk
