Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical technology for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. CCS involves capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power plants and injecting them deep underground for long-term storage. The success of CCS projects is influenced by various factors, including the regional pressure dissipation effects in subsurface geological formations. The safe and efficient operation of CCS projects depends on maintaining the pressure in the storage formation. Regional pressure dissipation, often resulting from the permeability and geomechanical properties of the storage site, can have significant effects on project integrity. This paper provides a state-of-art of the impact of regional pressure dissipation on CCS projects, highlights its effects, and discusses ongoing investigations in this area based on different case studies. The results corroborate the idea that the Sleipner project has considerable lateral hydraulic connectivity, which is evidenced by pressure increase ranging from <0.1 MPa in case of an uncompartmentalized reservoir to >1 MPa in case of substantial flow barriers. After five years of injection, pore pressures in the water leg of a gas reservoir have increased from 18 MPa to 30 MPa at Salah project, resulting in a 2 cm surface uplift. Furthermore, artificial CO2 injection was simulated numerically for 30 years timespan in the depleted oil reservoir of Jurong, located near the Huangqiao CO2-oil reservoir. The maximum amount of CO2 injected into a single well could reach 5.43 × 106 tons, potentially increasing the formation pressure by up to 9.5 MPa. In conclusion, regional pressure dissipation is a critical factor in the implementation of CCS projects. Its impact can affect project safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Ongoing research and investigations are essential to improve our understanding of this phenomenon and develop strategies to mitigate its effects, ultimately advancing the success of CCS as a climate change mitigation solution.

Basin hydrology and subcrop are key controls on carbonate sedimentation in continental basins. Hydrologically sensitive carbonates can record groundwater fluctuations within an aquifer in deep time. Late Jurassic extension, footwall uplift, erosion and karstification of marine Jurassic carbonates in the western Cameros Basin (Spain) saw deposition of ?Upper Kimmeridgian‐Tithonian syntectonic alluvial fan deposits (Señora de Brezales Formation). Biogenic laminar calcretes and phreatophytic rhizocretions record roots exploiting capillary fringe groundwater. Progressive infill of rift topography and footwall erosion lowered sedimentary gradients and clastic supply during deposition of the ?Tithonian–Berriasian Rupelo Formation. Distal alluvial marls (Las Viñas Member) contain charophytes, with 2 m thick carbonate lenses at the top reflecting intermittent rise of groundwater in ponds on the basin floor. Stacked palustrine limestones with rare charophytes and laminar calcretes (Ladera Member) record overstep of seasonal carbonate wetlands onto basin margins and footwall highs with intense pedogenetic modification during lengthy seasonal exposure. Overlying Berriasian charophyte‐ostracod wackestones, displaying microkarst cavities and interbedded intraclastic conglomerates, with vivianite sauropod bones, footprints and polygonal desiccation cracks at the top (Mambrillas de Lara Member) record open lacustrine conditions with limited subaerial exposure and high water tables. Desiccation‐cracked limestones and marls with correlatable evaporite horizons (Rio Cabrera Member) contain marginal marine foraminifera and dasycladaceae at the top. Lagoonal conditions reflected transgression to seaward and intermittent marine connection via the Basco‐Cantabrian Basin. The distribution and thicknesses of hydrologically sensitive carbonates reflected onlap onto a faulted and karstified marine Jurassic carbonate pediment and the subtle influence on hydroperiod of fault (and potentially localised Triassic salt) controlled differential subsidence and transgressive groundwater rise. Hydrological facies evolution reflects progressive basin infilling and eustasy beyond. Transitions in this continental succession from clastic to carbonate facies and from closed to open hydrology record hydrological change over time rather than contemporaneous deposition under Walther's Law.
