CCS 03, The Geoscience of Carbon Capture and Storage

Objectives

This course will equip geoscientists or petroleum engineers with a good understanding of the geoscience aspects of Carbon Storage including its value drivers, the evaluation practices and their differences with oil and gas exploration and production and lesson learnt from industry experience. The course provides a practical introduction to carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an effective technology for the reduction of CO2 emissions. It approaches the CCS from a geoscience perspective by linking geoscience observations (e.g. in the field, from core or seismic) to predictions that impact value of a CCS project. This course will help you explore for the most valuable CCS opportunities more effectively, leveraging applicable best practices from oil and gas exploration & production, while stressing key differences and pitfalls. It will also help you to use geoscience observations to build a full picture of the uncertainties, risks and opportunities of your storage resource lead.

Who should attend

This course is designed for geoscientists and petroleum engineers interested in learning about CCS, in particular its effective subsurface evaluation.
