Geologic Carbon Storage for Geoscientists and Engineers

Date: 25 - 29 Sep 2023
Location: Online
Tutors: Alex Bump, Research Scientist Associate at Bureau of Economic Geology / Seyyed Hosseini, Senior Research Scientist Associate at Bureau of Economic Geology / Katherine Romanak, Research Scientist Associate at Bureau of Economic Geology

This course empowers attendees to develop and apply their skills to the growing industry of Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). Attendees will be guided through the lifecycle of a CCUS project with an emphasis on key concepts, processes and workflows of the CCUS industry. Focus will be on developing the geoscience and engineering skills needed to progress a project.

You will learn to:

1. Outline the regulatory, policy and financial drivers and constraints for CCUS.
2. Describe the subsurface requirements for a successful storage project, including similarities and differences with oil and gas exploration.
3. Understand the workflow and perform the key tasks for defining, developing and permitting a CCUS project, including site selection, characterisation, risk assessment and monitoring for operational and post-operational phases.
4. Apply your subsurface knowledge and skills in oil and gas development to the concepts, processes and workflows of the CCUS industry.
5. Estimate CO2 storage capacity in saline aquifers at reservoir and basin-scales.
