UK CO 2 storage has been identified as a major opportunity for the UK thanks to its substantial geological potential. The services required for the ongoing monitoring of CO 2 storage locations (geomechanics, permeability, MMV, and seismic monitoring) were chosen as a deep-dive topic because of the ability to utilise pre-existing skillsets from the oil and gas sector and to test the insights gathered from stakeholder interviews.
