CO2 SEQUESTRATION
Carbon Dioxide Sequestration is an up and coming technology to combat global warming and Pinnacle is leading the way in helping prove the technology to be a safe and cost effective method of carbon dioxide emissions reduction. Pinnacle is currently working with a number of regional sequestration groups in the US as well as others internationally to assist with containment monitoring and risk reduction. Monitoring, Mitigation and Verification (MM&V) is a key component in CO2 sequestration. The ability to measure the volume of carbon dioxide stored, monitor a site for leaks and verify that the CO2 is stored permanently is a requirement of any successful sequestration project.

Pinnacle Technologies can provide up front risk analysis for projects and deploy a series of complementary technologies to directly and indirectly measure where carbon dioxide is migrating underground. With the ability to deploy tiltmeters with nano-radian accuracy to INSAR with huge spatial coverage, we have the ability to apply the right technology to the problem at hand. Pinnacle also offers downhole electronic pressure and temperature gauge installation services as well as fiber optic Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) sensors which can monitor realtime temperature along the entire wellbore. In the area of seismic monitoring, we offer everything from microseismic monitoring to 2D & 3D VSP and crosswell seismic survey data acquisition, processing and interpretation.

With this broad range of services, Pinnacle is a one stop shop for MMV services globally. Also through our propriety integration of technologies like InSAR, high resolution GPS and tiltmeters, we feel that we offer the most cost effective option for truly long term monitoring of large CO2 sequestration projects.

Pinnacle plans on working with sequestration groups to use off the shelf technology today to effectively implement MMV plans as well as work with universities, industry and government agencies to develop cutting edge technologies which will further reduce MMV costs and risk in the future.
