Intensive Trainings
Carbon Capture And Storage For Geoscientists And Engineers
November 12 - November 16
Why Choose this Training Course
Who Should Attend
The CCS geoscientists training course is aimed at geoscientists and engineers, but other sub-surface staff will also find the course useful. Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of petroleum geoscience. However, the subject matter of this course, the geoscience of carbon capture and storage, is covered from basic principles.
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of CCS in CO2 emissions-reductions
- Develop awareness of the role of geoscience and reservoir engineering in CCS
- Appreciate the types of CO2 injections projects have occurred so far, and the ones that are planned
- Discuss CCS projects that have been a success and those that have had problems
- Understand CO2 as a fluid in the subsurface and how it differs from oil, gas and water
- Build awareness of the reservoir rocks that store CO2 and the volumetrics of CO2 storage
- Appreciate the importance of the storage efficiency factor in controlling how much CO2 can be injected
- Gain an appreciation of the question of the injectivity of CO2 and the roles of permeability and aquifer architecture on CO2 flow
