Randomized trial assesses CO2 storage effects in a region, suggesting critical insights for regulation.

This work aims to quantify the regional effects of multiple simultaneous CO2 storage operations on capacity and regulatory considerations.
Conducted an integrated assessment of five storage projects in the Barrow–Dampier sub-basin.
Each project involved six wells injecting 1 MtCO2/year/well over 30 years.
Examined scenarios under various boundary conditions and project start-up sequences.
Under closed conditions, 514 MtCO2 was stored over 30 years, indicating overestimation with single-site assessments.
With finite aquifer support, storage increased to 591 Mt (r = 1.5) and up to ~924 Mt (r ≥ 5).
Plume monitoring footprints were smaller under multi-site modelling, showing significant interdependencies.
