Are we really ready to implement large-scale storage?
As COP 21 approaches and with CCS perhaps gaining a new momentum, a question often posed is: are we really ready to implement large-scale storage? In other words do we have sufficient hands-on experience from current storage projects, together with theoretical understanding of subsurface processes,...
