Overview
Lower the costs, time, and risks of monitoring your CO2 sequestration sites with the CarbonWatch™ autonomous CO2 monitoring service from Baker Hughes.
CarbonWatch improves CO2 monitoring with a low-OPEX, no-intervention solution that enhances your understanding of CO2 conformance and containment to proactively manage storage risks.
An array of monitoring stations positioned above your storage site collects subsurface data from multipurpose, field-proven sensors—remotely and in near real-time. From near-surface to deep in the reservoir, CarbonWatch integrates a wide range of field measurements to give you critical subsurface insights, including:
- Passive monitoring of the structural integrity of the caprock and faults
- 24/7 saturation mapping and control spot measurements of the CO2 plume in the injection zone
- Periodic surveillance of shallow groundwater and soil quality
CarbonWatch also lowers your CAPEX and minimizes field visits, thanks to its wireless communication and weeks-long power and data buffering capabilities. And with near-instantaneous access to subsurface data, you can quickly respond to measurement anomalies while providing stakeholders with data-driven insights on operation safety.
