Agenda for 2002-03 Focuses on Issues

Continuing the dialogue on my objective of 'A Value Proposition for AAPG' and my theme of 'Value, Value, Value,' I have prepared a list of important issues that I will pursue this year. Although these items are mainly a result of my life-long career experiences, they also reflect feedback from many members on the questions I have been asking for many months:

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.
