DNV DNV-RP-J203 [ Revised ]

General

This RP defines performance requirements and procedures for the following:

— the selection and qualification of geological storage sites for long-term storage of CO₂

— the documentation of storage site characterization and storage site development plans as a basis for permit applications/reviews

— risk management throughout life cycle of CO₂ geological storage projects, from initial screening and storage site selection through to storage site closure and preparation for post-closure stewardship

— monitoring and storage performance verification

— well assessment and management planning

— storage site closure and preparation for post-closure stewardship.

Where the term CO₂ is used in the guideline, it assumes that carbon dioxide is pressurized; may or may not contain water; exists either as a liquid, super critical fluid or a gas; and also includes carbon dioxide dissolved in water contained in the injection zone.
