GENERAL
A. General
A 100 Introduction
101 This DNV Service Specification (DSS) provides a framework for the certification of geological storage
sites for carbon dioxide (CO2).
102 This certification framework is supported by DNV Recommended Practice RP-J203 for the selection,
qualification and management of CO2 geological storage sites.
A 200 Objectives
201 The objectives of this document are to:
— describe DNV’s services within selection, qualification and management of geological storage sites
— provide guidance for CO2 storage project developers and other parties on the extent of involvement from
DNV
— provide a common communication platform for project stakeholders to describe the extent of storage site
selection, qualification and management activities.
A 300 Scope of application
301 This DSS applies to the selection, qualification and management of geological storage sites for CO2.
A 400 Structure of this document
401 This document consists of three sections and one appendix:
— Section 1, General – gives a general scope of the document, background information, definitions and
references.

deliverables.
— Appendix A – provides examples of the DNV qualification statements and certificates described in Section
3.
B. Background
B 100 Introduction
101 A recommended practice for a systematic approach to selection, qualification and management of
geological storage sites for CO2 is given in DNV RP-J203. A key intention is to harmonize implementation of
CO2 storage in compliance with regulations, international standards and directives while avoiding
documentation and reporting requirements that may incur project delays and additional expense.
102 The term qualification in this document means the process of providing evidence that a CO2 storage site
will function reliably within the specified operational limits with an acceptable level of confidence.
103 While DNV RP-J203 provides a description of the process applicable to the selection qualification and
management of storage sites, this document describes DNV’s services based on that process.
202 “Shall”: indicates requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to this DSS and from which
no deviation is permitted.
203 “Should”: indicates that among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable,
without mentioning or excluding others, or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily
required. Other possibilities may be applied subject to agreement.
204 “Will”: indicates a mandatory action or activity to be undertaken by DNV. (Ref. “shall” for other
parties.)
205 “Can”: indicates an action or activity that DNV will not necessarily do unless specifically requested by
the client. (Ref. “should” for other parties.)
206 “May”: verbal form used to indicate a course of action permissible within the limits of the DSS.
C 300 Definitions
301 Conceptually feasible: A storage site at an early stage of development is considered conceptually feasible
if the main challenges have been identified and judged to be resolvable by use of sound engineering practice.
Guidance note:
Although a storage site has been stated conceptually feasible, there are still activities necessary to be executed in order
to establish the required confidence that the storage site is fit for service. Consequently, there will be a possibility that
the storage site contrary to expectations will not be stated fit for service.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
302 Storage Development Plan: The application for a new Storage Permit should take the form of a Storage
Development Plan, comparable to a Plan for Development and Operations for hydrocarbon fields. The term
Storage Development Plan is used in a generic sense and DNV recognises that the name of this document and
required content may vary depending on jurisdiction. A Storage Development Plan should include the
following components (see DNV RP-J203):
— a storage site “Characterization Report”
— an “Injection and Operating Plan”
— an “Environmental Statement”
— a “Storage Performance Forecast”
— a “Risk Management Plan”
— a “Monitoring Plan”
— a “Communication Plan”
— a storage site “Closure Plan”
— an “Accounting and Reporting Plan”.

103 DNV RP-J203 contains the following sections, as indicated by the grey bars in Figure 1:
— Storage Site Screening and Appraisal
— Permitting
— Risk Management
— Well Qualification.
B 200 Storage site screening
201 General
The purpose of storage site screening is to evaluate the potential for CO2 geological storage in a given region
based primarily on existing data. The following steps represent a generic recommendation of screening
activities applicable to any region. The scope of the steps is expected to vary between regions depending on the
quality and quantity of existing data.
The output from storage site screening should be a list of potential storage sites that fulfil the operator’s
requirements laid down in the Screening Basis. The screening process should be documented in a Screening
Report.
202 Activities and deliverables:
— Screening Basis
— Screening Plan
— Data collection and review
— Uncertainty Assessment
— Risk Assessment
— Evaluation and Screening Report.
B 300 Storage site appraisal
301 General
The purpose of this stage is to appraise prospective storage sites in detail and develop a well engineering
concept that provides the required capacity, injectivity and containment. Appraisal should be carried out for a
portfolio of prospective storage sites in order to minimise the risk of not discovering a suitable storage site in
a given area.
The storage site appraisal process shall provide an operator with enough technical information to determine
which storage sites remain prospective at Milestone M3 and select the best candidate. The appraisal process
shall be documented in an Appraisal Report. If successful, the appraisal process shall provide the information
required to compile a robust Storage Permit application.
The following steps represent a generic recommendation of appraisal activities applicable to any region. The
scope of the steps is expected to vary between regions depending on the quality and quantity of existing data.
302 Activities and deliverables:
— Appraisal Basis
— Appraisal Plan
— Characterization
— Modelling
— Risk Assessment
— Appraisal Review
— Well Engineering Concept
— Monitoring and Risk Management Planning
— Evaluation and Appraisal Report.
B 400 Permitting
401 The term storage permit is used to refer to the following:
— a new storage permit
— the renewal of an existing storage permit
— the transfer from one type of permit to another type (for example from enhanced oil production by CO2
injection to CO2 storage)
— the registration of a project in a regulated scheme that requires reporting of mass of CO2 emissions avoided.
402 The client should follow the recommended procedure for developing a storage permit:
— document permit context and requirements
— define risk performance targets with regulator
— develop or update storage permit application
— verify completeness
— submit application.
403 Where the specification of a risk performance target shall include:
— the target level of risk
— the risk treatment and/or inherent characteristics of a storage site that shall reduce and maintain the risk at
or below this level
— the expected and low-end likelihood that the specified risk treatment will be effective in meeting the target
level of risk
— the rationale and analysis behind the risk evaluation.
Risk performance targets shall be relevant to the permit context and requirements. Targets for storage
operations shall be updated for storage site closure.
404 The application for a new Storage Permit should take the form of a Storage Development Plan. This term
is used in a generic sense and DNV recognises that the name of this document and required content may vary
depending on jurisdiction.
SECTION 3
SERVICE OVERVIEW
A. General
A 100 Objectives
101 The objectives of this section are to:
— describe DNV’s services within the selection, qualification and management of geological storage sites for
CO2
— give guidance on the scope of work within each stage of the qualification process.
A 200 Introduction to DNV Services
201 The services that DNV can offer may be divided into three categories:
— Qualification Management
— Certification
— Verification.
A 300 Combined roles in the selection and qualification process
301 In general DNV can provide services where any of the roles defined here are combined, except the
combination of certifier or verifier and a provider of design services.
302 In practice this means that the Certification service may be combined with the Qualification Management
service and advisory services of a diagnostic nature. In view of the wide variability between CCS projects and
their inherent complexity, DNV favours combining Certification and Qualification Management services in
order to facilitate Certification.
B. Qualification Management
B 100 General
101 DNV assists the client in managing the storage site qualification process in order to comply with
requirements in DNV RP-J203 for some or all of the storage site life cycle stages shown in Figure 1.
102 DNV facilitates the client’s risk assessment process that is integral to storage site qualification.
103 DNV RP-J203 requires several activities and deliverables to be carried out for the different project stages.
DNV’s role in assisting the client in their project management will be to ensure that these activities and
deliverables are planned and carried out in a sufficient manner in order to be certified according to DNV RP-J203.
C. Certification
C 100 General
101 Certification represents a specific form of verification where the scope of work is dictated by DNV RP-
J203 and the certification documents that are offered by DNV are restricted to the following four documents
as defined in this DSS:
— Statement of Feasibility at milestone M2
— Statement of Endorsement at milestone M3
— Certificate of Conformity (Storage) initially at milestone M4 with possible renewal between M6 and M7
— Certificate of Conformity (Closure) at milestone M7.
The milestone numbering refers to in Figure 1 and examples of these certification documents are shown in
Appendix A.
102 The certification service may be carried out as a separate service or integrated with the Qualification
Management service.
C 200 Statement of Feasibility
201 See Appendix A for an example Statement of Feasibility.
202 DNV may issue a Statement of Feasibility for a storage site or portfolio of storage sites after verifying
that such storage sites have been evaluated by an operator in accordance with DNV RP-J203, Section 4.2,
“Screening”, and fulfils the requirements given in the Screening Basis.
203 The operator’s Screening Report forms the documented basis for verification.
204 By issuing a Statement of Feasibility DNV considers the storage site(s) conceptually feasible and thereby
suited for further development and qualification according to DNV RP-J203.
205 Verification of the Screening process shall include an independent review by DNV of the Screening
Report.
206 The scope of the verification process may be reduced in the case that DNV has prior knowledge and
understanding of the screening process, for example from assisting the client with managing the process to
comply with DNV RP-J203 “Qualification Management service”.
C 300 Statement of Endorsement
301 See Appendix A for an example Statement of Endorsement.
302 DNV may issue a Statement of Endorsement for a storage site after verifying that the Appraisal work has
been conducted in accordance with DNV RP-J203, Section 4.3, “Appraisal”, and fulfils the requirements given
in the Appraisal Basis.
303 The operator’s Appraisal Report forms the documented basis for verification.
304 By issuing a Statement of Endorsement DNV considers that the storage site and Well Engineering
Concept have the required characteristics for injecting the specified mass of CO2 (tonnes) over the specified
duration of the project (years) and storing it on a long-term basis. The mass of CO2 and duration of injection
shall be specified in the Appraisal Basis.
305 Verification of the Appraisal process shall include an independent review by DNV of the Appraisal
Report.
306 The scope of the verification process may be reduced in the case that DNV has prior knowledge and
understanding of the appraisal process, for example from assisting the client with managing the process to
comply with DNV RP-J203 “Qualification Management service”.
C 400 Certificate of Fitness for Storage
401 See Appendix A for an example Certificate of Fitness for Storage.
402 DNV may issue a Certificate of Fitness for Storage in order to confirm that the Storage Development
Plan for a specified storage site is in accordance with DNV RP-J203 and that DNV considers the storage site
as fit for service subject to the constraints of the Plan.
403 The operator’s Storage Development Plan shall form the documented basis for verification.
404 Verification of the Appraisal process shall include an independent review by DNV of the Storage
Development Plan.
405 The scope of the verification process may be reduced in the case that DNV has prior knowledge and
understanding of the qualification and permitting process, for example from assisting the client with managing
the process to comply with DNV RP-J203 “Qualification Management service”.
406 A Certificate of Fitness for Storage may also be required prior to:
— application for renewal of a storage permit during storage site operations
— transfer of usage of a storage site
— registration in a regulated scheme that requires reporting of mass of CO2 emissions avoided.
The certification task in these instances may have a smaller scope if it is the case that only some components
of the Storage Development Plan have been modified.
C 500 Certificate of Fitness for Closure
501 See Appendix A for an example Certificate of Fitness for Closure.
502 DNV may issue a Certificate of Fitness for Closure in order to confirm that the Closure Qualification
Statement for a specified storage site is in accordance with DNV RP-J203 and that DNV considers the storage
site as fit for closure subject to the constraints of the Statement.
503 The operator’s Closure Qualification Statement shall form the documented basis for verification.
504 Verification of the closure process shall include an independent review by DNV of the Closure
Qualification Statement.
505 The scope of the verification process may be reduced in the case that DNV has prior knowledge and
understanding of the closure process, for example from assisting the client with managing the process to
comply with DNV RP-J203.
D. Verification
D 100 General
101 The verification service differs from the certification service in terms of the scope of verification.
Whereas the certification service includes certification against a scope dictated by the document DNV RP-
J203, the verification service allows for verification against a scope determined by the client.
102 The scope of the verification could be parts of DNV RP-J203, other standards or internal procedures
provided by the client.
