MDS Academy delivers specialised Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) training programmes developed for drilling, well engineering, well control, intervention, and operations personnel involved in the planning, construction, operation, and long-term management of CO₂ storage projects.
As Carbon Capture & Storage becomes a key technology in the global energy transition, existing Oil & Gas expertise is increasingly being applied to the development of permanent geological storage facilities. These programmes provide the knowledge required to adapt conventional well engineering practices to the unique operational, regulatory, and technical challenges associated with CO₂ injection and long-term containment.
The courses combine practical industry experience with engineering principles covering CO₂ injection operations, well integrity, pressure management, project execution, and intervention techniques required throughout the complete CCS project lifecycle.
Courses Portfolio:
CCS Well Control
This practical course examines the application of conventional well control principles to Carbon Capture & Storage operations.
Topics include CO₂ behaviour under pressure, injection well pressure management, operational risks, barrier philosophy, abnormal pressure events, emergency response, and well control considerations specific to CO₂ storage projects.
Duration: 1 Day
Format: Practical / On Site
Delivery: Face-to-Face • Virtual • In-House
CCS Project Management & Performance
This course provides an operational overview of planning, managing, and monitoring Carbon Capture & Storage projects.
Topics include project lifecycle management, operational planning, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, performance monitoring, storage efficiency, and continuous improvement throughout the operational life of a CCS facility.
Duration: 1 Day
Format: Practical / On Site
Delivery: Face-to-Face • Virtual • In-House
CCS Injection Operations
A practical programme covering the engineering and operational aspects of CO₂ injection.
Candidates learn about injection equipment, surface facilities, injection strategies, reservoir behaviour, pressure management, monitoring systems, operational optimisation, and safe execution of CO₂ injection campaigns.
