Carbon Capture and storage analysis

Whilst there are strong similarities to oil & gas, CCS changes the loading environment. CO₂ injection creates different fatigue drivers and structural demands than hydrocarbon production. Our analysis accounts for this. Adapting various analysis methodologies such as exploration and appraisal conductor modelling, VIV and wave‑fatigue assessments, and operating‑envelope assessments, AE adapts to these new CO₂‑specific conditions.

By accounting for effects such as sweet‑corrosion and ultra‑low‑temperature effects, we validate that wells originally designed for traditional oil & gas operations are suitable for effective CO₂ containment.

Aquaterra Energy’s offshore analysis team brings decades of operational experience to the CCS field. Our methodologies, refined through decades of unique analysis projects, predict well and conductor behaviour under CO₂ re-pressurisation, supporting long-term storage integrity. Drawing on extensive jack-up exploration and appraisal conductor analysis, we strengthen CCS readiness assessments worldwide. We integrate CO₂-specific factors such as sweet corrosion and ultra-low temperatures directly reducing uncertainty and risk.
