These tools have been demonstrated at multiple demonstration and large-scale GCS projects located across the United States and beyond and are summarized in individual studies compiled in this applications catalog. Each of these studies presents a unique operational environment with various challenges associated with the nature of the given site and its baseline conditions, the potential presence of preexisting features and the uncertainties associated with each component of storage site.

The application catalog is made available with key findings, and allows access to individual reports and manuscripts, and is intended to aid stakeholders in applying similar risk-management workflows and in making risk-based decisions at GCS sites.

The conceptual workflows that constitute the basis of each individual tool are further described in a set of Recommended Practices developed as part of NRAP and accessible at link. They consider aspects of site characterization, quantification of potential leakage, assessing the spatial extent of potential environmental impacts, optimizing monitoring design for detection of potential leakage, evaluation of concordance between monitored and forecasted reservoir response, assessing conformance with expected/accepted performance, and determination of the timeline over which risk of impactful leakage can be expected to abate.
