Asset integrity management paradigm for carbon dioxide underground sequestration

A Carbon Capture and Storage asset requires a consistent way to manage its integrity during its lifecycle. This can be done with a paradigm able to encompass four main elements at the same time, such as: asset lifecycle; implementation procedures and processes for asset integrity management; technologies; performance control and risk mitigation measures in order to assure a systemic approach for asset integrity management. The paradigm represents an integrated system able to support the assessment and management of a CO2 storage site all along its life cycle, i.e. from site selection to decommissioning and surveillance of the asset.
