Curious about what to expect from the EAGE Masterclass on CO₂ Storage 2026? Join us for an online course preview and discover how fluid flow governs the success of geological CO₂ storage projects.
In this free webinar, Florian Doster (Heriot-Watt University) will present an introduction to his masterclass module, Flow Mechanics for Geological CO₂ Storage, offering participants a preview of the concepts, teaching approach, and practical applications covered during the full programme. The session is free to attend and provides an excellent opportunity to meet one of the lead instructors and ask questions.
Flow mechanics lies at the heart of safe and efficient CO₂ storage. During the full masterclass, Florian Doster provides a solid foundation in the principles of fluid flow through porous media – knowledge that is essential for the safe and efficient planning and operation of geological CO₂ storage projects. Participants will explore why fluids move through reservoirs and how these processes can be described using Darcy’s law and the principle of mass conservation. The course also examines pressure diffusion, the pore-scale processes that occur when injected CO₂ displaces resident fluids, and how these microscopic interactions influence CO₂ behaviour over the large spatial and temporal scales relevant to geological storage. Through practical models and simple simulation tools, participants will learn how to evaluate dynamic storage capacity, pressure build-up, and potential leakage risks.
The full course Flow Mechanics for Geological CO₂ Storage is part of the EAGE Masterclass CO₂ Storage 2026, taking place from 1 to 4 December 2026 in Paris, France. Returning for its third edition, this masterclass offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary learning experience covering the complete workflow of geological CO₂ storage. Topics range from CO₂ Storage Project Design and Optimization (Saline Aquifers) with Philip Ringrose (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway), through reservoir flow behaviour and monitoring, to Risk Assessment of CO₂ Storage by Understanding Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Chemical-Mechanical Processes led by Andreas Busch and Eric Mackay (Heriot-Watt University).
This masterclass equips participants with practical, interdisciplinary knowledge from leading experts, helping them build the expertise needed to stand out and succeed in this rapidly growing field.
