Panelists addressed key topics including:
- Mitigating CO₂ injection side effects such as shallow pore pressure evolution in the Permian Basin.
- The implications of injection velocity and pressure curtailments.
- The history of large-volume water disposal in West Texas and its relevance for CO₂ disposal.
- The use of INSAR satellite data and new Delaware Basin insights.
