The current energy transition is really more of a continued diversification to include various abundant and inexpensive energy sources. While it is clear that future energy will be most competitive if it is also lower in carbon emissions or intensity, there are also many industrial sectors that are difficult to decarbonize without carbon capture and storage (CCS). This presentation will summarize 17 years of experience working as a geologist and geophysicist on CCS to provide insight into how the discipline has evolved and where it is headed, with emphasis on the role of geoscientists and petroleum engineers. We will visit field sites as familiar as oil fields in Texas and as unexpected as the offshore of Japan and Norway. We will see how technologies have evolved to monitor CCS projects, including new offshore seismic techniques. There is novel laboratory data too, focused on understanding multiphase fluid flow in heterogeneous materials using sand tank experiments. Find out why leading global CCS experts are confident that CCS will be possible at the needed scales and timeframes to support continued global energy development, but more importantly, how geoscientists can remain leaders and innovators in our energy future.
