AB  - Carbonate reservoirs hold the majority of CO2 sequestration potential; however, they are also more complicated than sandstone reservoirs in terms of heterogeneity and potential reactivity impact on operations. There are both significant carbonate reservoir CO2 sinks and CO2 point sources around Qatar making carbon capture and storage a potential decarbonisation pathway for the region. The Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre (QCCSRC) started in 2008 to address the gaps in our current knowledge of both local carbonate reservoir platforms and how CO2 would behave post sequestration. QCCSRC is a research framework agreement over 10 years and valued at $70 million between Qatar Petroleum, Shell, the Qatar Science and Technology Park and Imperial College London bringing together each organisation’s unique capabilities. This novel quadruple helix management structure is responsible for the largest single industrially funded research programme conducted at Imperial College London. Our research has focused on data to create and / or improve predictive models for CO2 storage in carbonate reservoirs. Our three broad thematic areas include: Carbonate Rocks and Reservoir Seals; Rock-fluid interactions; and Fluid-fluid interactions and are supported by five research laboratories. We will review the major scientific outcomes of the programme and the areas where we have identified a greater need for research into our understanding of the underlying science of carbon sequestration. Overall this unique programme is an example of how to approach grand challenges in the energy-carbon dilemma through long-term and multidisciplinary cooperative research.
