Carbon storage monitoring

CMC injects CO2 underground to test and demonstrate accurate, cost-effective measurement and verification technologies. We partner with industry, tech developers and researchers from around the world to test and develop technologies that accurately track CO2 plumes underground.

This research done at the Newell County facility informs best practices in CO2 storage monitoring protocols and helps government, industry and the public know that operators have stored CO2 safely and securely.

The site is also a training facility for collaborating on leading-edge research to solve complex storage challenges. Researchers who work at the site include academic faculty members, research scientists, research associates, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students. Students benefit from working with the world’s experts in carbon storage and get an understanding of best practices for CO2 monitoring.

Joint Industry Partnership

Our Joint Industry Partnership (JIP) program provides industry and tech developers with access to world-leading expertise, data, research and projects happening at the Newell County facility. At the 200-hectare site, our experts advance the development of monitoring technologies and protocols for storing CO2. We work to refine monitoring technologies for enhanced oil recovery and understand the movement of fluids underground so carbon storage can be safe and secure.
