Presentation at Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Western Regional Meeting (WRM) held in Bakersfield, California, April 26–28, 2022. The presentation provides findings from a basin-scale CO2 storage modeling project investigating subsurface pressure interference among CO2 injection wells located in proximity to each other. The presentation highlights the importance of interproject coordination among storage operators and stakeholders.
