Shelf's Gifts Just Keep on Giving

An increasing number of companies and individuals in the domestic oil and gas industry consider the heavily-drilled GOM shelf to hold little promise for the future, particularly its vast array of aging fields. However, by looking at the past, Richard Nehring, president of NRG Associates, paints a more compelling picture. He will present his findings at the upcoming GCAGS annual meeting in Houston.

SC 03: The Techniques and Business Aspects of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage and the CO₂ Storage Resources Management System (SRMS)

As part of the international effort to combat global warming, significant attention is being given to ways to sequester (store for the long-term) carbon dioxide, which is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect. This one-day course will look at some of the ways in which carbon dioxide can be stored and provide a detailed review of the SRMS framework prepared by the Society of Petroleum Engineers to classify and categorize the storage volumes.
