Course Content

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will play a critical role in the portfolio of energy companies to meet climate goals and reach net-zero by 2050. For CCS to become a viable option for carbon reduction strategies, several challenges must be overcome. Among them, the geologic storage of CO2 is a key technology. The objective of this course is to present and discuss the required subsurface engineering skills and methods for safe and effective storage of CO2 in geologic formations. Focus is given on depleted hydrocarbon fields and deep saline aquifers as these types of underground storage are becoming mature technologies soon. The contents focus on the three driving pillars: (a) injectivity, (b) capacity, and (c) containment assessment for carbon dioxide storage considering regulatory framework and fluid properties of CO2.

Course Aims and Objectives:

By the end of the course participants will feel confident in the understanding of:

  • The concepts and principles of safe underground storage of CO2 during CCS projects
  • The importance of injectivity, capacity and containment concepts during storage of CO2 in geologic formation
  • The potential fluid-fluid and rock-fluid interactions during CO2 storage in the geological subsurface
  • The relevant adjustments to classical subsurface engineering methods required for CCS projects
  • Current challenges in field applications

Agenda:

  • Session 1: Introduction - Introduction to CCS, main processes, fluid properties of CO2, overview of current projects
  • Session 2: Site Screening, Selection and Pilots - Data collection and site screening with relevance to capacity, injectivity and containment aspects crucial at the beginning of a CCS project
  • Session 3: Subsurface- & Geoengineering for CO2 Storage - Methods for capacity assessment and field cases of CO2 Storage
  • Session 4: CO2 Containment - Aspects of Safe Operations and Subsurface Storage - Integrity definition and methods that can be used to assess safe containment of CO2
Who Should Attend

The course is designed for engineers and geoscientists with some experience in petroleum engineering, gas storage or some basic knowledge about CCS.

Important Notes Regarding Short Courses

  • Short courses are limited in size and are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis and must be accompanied by a full payment.
  • If you do not plan on attending the conference, a US $30 enrollment fee will be added to the short course fee. This fee may be applied toward registration if you decide to attend the conference at a later date.
  • A wait list is automatically created if a short course sells out. AAPG will notify you if space becomes available.
  • Before purchasing non-refundable airline tickets, confirm that the course will take place, as courses may be cancelled if undersubscribed.
  • Please register well before the deadline of 5 August 2024. Short course cancellations due to low enrollment will be considered at this time. No refunds will be allowed on short courses after 5 August 2024
  • We will continue to take registrations for short courses not cancelled until they are either sold out or closed.
  • Courses will be held in the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre unless otherwise indicated. Participants will be advised via email of the specific location approximately two weeks prior to the course.
Cancellation Policy
  • Cancellations can be made by contacting ICE Registration on or before 5 August via email at [email protected]
  • Cancellations received on or before 5 August will receive a refund LESS a US $75 processing fee.
  • Refunds will not be issued after 5 August or for “no shows.”
  • You may substitute one participant for another.
