Glossary:Monitoring, management and risk modeling

Subsurface storage systems are an increasingly important technology for the safe and efficient storage of substances such as natural gas, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. However, these systems also carry certain risks, such as leakage, migration, and potential impacts on groundwater quality. To minimize these risks, monitoring, and management of subsurface storage systems are critical. This includes ongoing monitoring of pressure and flow rates and real-time analysis of potential leaks. Risk modeling is also essential, to ensure that potential risks are identified and managed proactively. This involves using advanced modeling tools to simulate potential scenarios and evaluate the likelihood of various outcomes. By combining effective monitoring, management, and risk modeling, subsurface storage systems can be operated safely and effectively, while minimizing the potential impacts on the environment and public health.
