Fluid Specification for CCS Hubs and the Impact on System Design [In-Person]

Dr. Dale Erickson serves as the Technical Authority and Technology Development Lead for Wood Group Intelligent Operations.    At Wood, he has pioneered the development of real-time, transient, multiphase flow simulators, leak detection systems, and control/optimization software for platforms/pipelines and wrote most of the core code for the multiphase pipeline simulator.  In addition, he has been involved in numerous technical studies involving transient multiphase flow and dynamic process modelling.  Since 1996, has had a significant role in over 100 projects, by providing functional design, detailed design approval, trouble shooting, tuning, quality review and testing and technical supervision.   He worked in the area of flow assurance by writing the first version of the Colorado School of Mines Hydrate program in 1983; then developed high accuracy equations of state in conjunction with NIST in Boulder, CO while getting his PhD from Rice University.   He co-developed a thermal soil model enhancement and a bundle model enhancement for OLGA, and developed the first commercial model for paraffin formation.  He has recently developed a model of Oil Shale Well Operation including a simplified Reservoir Model.   He spearheads a number of CO2-targeted global implementation, including a real-time process digital twin for currently the largest CO2 Storage Network.

Mr. Srinivasan KV (Sri) is the Engineering Manager for the Energy and Flow Assurance Business in Americas, leading a team of engineering consultants supporting various projects for CO2 transportation, Onshore/Offshore Oil and Gas assets.
