Measurements, monitoring, and verification (MMV) planning is critical when developing a carbon sequestration site. The MMV plan is not only required for regulatory permitting, but it also forms the basis for determining whether you can technically and economically develop your carbon sequestration project. Before the final investment decision (FID), you should have a detailed MMV front-end engineering design (FEED) to ensure that all regulatory requirements are met, risks are effectively managed, and the overall monitoring framework is optimized for performance and cost efficiency.

With the Sequestri MMV FEED carbon storage solution, our experts provide a detailed design and plan for how CO₂ will be tracked, measured, and monitored throughout your project’s life cycle. With our experience on more than 150 carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) projects, innovative, measurement technologies, and industry-leading digital and integration solutions, you can feel confident that your CO₂ is stored safely and that your project is compliant with local regulations.

A comprehensive portfolio for carbon storage

At SLB, we offer the most complete suite of services and advanced technologies for carbon storage. With nearly a century of subsurface experience, we can help you tackle any carbon sequestration challenge. Our capabilities ranging from tool response prediction to survey designs, accurately forecast and monitor the behavior of stored CO₂. With state-of-the-art acquisition and processing capabilities, we gain deep insights from a wide range of measurements, enabling us to optimize storage site performance and mitigate risks effectively. Leveraging our extensive experience acquired from designing operation management systems, we deliver solutions that are not only compliant with regulatory standards, but also innovative and cost effective.
