Intensive Trainings
Subsurface Characterization, Screening and Site Selection for Geologic CO2 Storage Sites
March 11 - March 14
Why Choose this Training Course
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a key means of mitigating climate change and is the only option currently available to decarbonize industries such as cement, steel, petrochemicals and LNG. As opportunities in oil and gas decline, they are growing in CCS. Human activities now generate about 35Gt of CO2 (1 gigatonne=1 billion tonnes) per year. At ~$50/ton for sequestration, the potential opportunity is enormous, both in new business revenue and in repurposing old assets and delaying decommissioning costs. Mitigation of the worst effects of climate change will require storing billions of tons per year, with an industry to match. In the US alone, the National Petroleum Council estimates that CCS could employ ~230,000 people, similar to the current oil industry.
This subsurface characterization CCUS training course empowers attendees to develop and apply their skills to the growing industry of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage. Attendees will be guided through the subsurface characterization and risk assessment of a storage site. Focus will be on the geologic needs for site definition, screening and development.
Who Should Attend
This subsurface characterization CCUS training course is aimed at subsurface oil and gas professionals and first-level leaders who would like to develop their skills for the emerging industry of carbon capture and geologic storage (CCUS). It is recommended specifically for:
- Geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers and other technical subsurface O&G professionalsinterested in CCUS
- First-level leaders and others tasked with developing and/or assuring geologic storage for CCUS projects
- Recent graduates in petroleum geoscience and reservoir engineering who want to develop skills in CCUS
Key Learning Objectives
- UnderstandIdentify and describe key subsurface parameters
- Assess static and dynamic capacity
- Calculate injectivity and calibrate project requirements
- Discuss the pros and cons of different storage schemes
- Define and evaluate potential storage sites
- Identify and address subsurface risks
