Caprock Integrity & Gas Storage Symposium

The CIGSS aims at providing a platform for the exchange and discussion of scientific, technological, industrial, and regulatory advances related to the integrity of caprocks in the context of geological storage of CO2 and gas storage in general. The specialised conference is addressed to research institutes, industry, and government agencies.

The event will take place over two days, on 27 and 28 January 2026. The first day is devoted to a symposium with government agencies, industry representatives and researchers. The following themes are on the agenda:

  • Public acceptance
  • Regulation
  • Site screening and exploration
  • Characterization and behavior of geological reservoirs
  • Characterization and behavior of caprocks
  • Key research developments of geological storage of CO2 and other gases
  • Expectation of CO2 producers

The second day is devoted to a scientific conference, with poster session, open to researchers in the field of fault, caprock and borehole integrity and gas storage in general. The topics are:

  • Small-scale laboratory experiments
  • Medium-scale rock laboratory experiments toward pilot-scale project
  • Local and regional geological and structural investigations of potential sites
  • Risk and hazard assessments
  • Numerical studies
  • Innovative monitoring systems and analysis strategies
