The purpose of this best practices manual (BPM) is to describe lessons learned and best practices for site characterization of carbon dioxide (CO2) geologic storage (herein “storage”) projects. Information presented is derived from field and laboratory storage project activities conducted by the Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership. Site characterization is one of four technical elements of the adaptive management approach (AMA) formalized by the PCOR Partnership for storage project development. The other technical elements are modeling and simulation; risk assessment; and monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA) of injected CO2.
