SPEI: Geological Sequestration of CO2

Who Should Attend

Petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, production engineers, facilities engineers, managers, government officials, and others involved or interested in CO2 sequestration, a topic of growing interest to the SPE members in many parts of the world.

_{Since this topic is of tremendous interest to the SPE members around the world, presentation of this course is expected to attract large attendance, that is the class is likely to be filled up quickly; therefore, those who are interested in attending this course should plan to register early, otherwise may have to wait for the next presentation of the course.}_The_{course registrants should bring their calculators to the class to work on the class problems.}

_{About the Course}

_{This course is intended to serve as an introduction to geological storage or sequestration of CO2. Geological storage of CO2 is emerging as an important tool for combating global warming, and over the last few years, has developed rapidly. Although much of the technology is similar to that of CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR), as practiced in the Permian Basin of West Texas, there are important differences which require adaptation of the industry’s subsurface knowledge to this new application. The information presented in this course is drawn from instructors’ extensive practical experience in EOR projects in West Texas and in emerging development of CO2 storage projects, as well as from numerous conferences, workshops, literature, and research projects in which the instructors have participated.}

_{In teaching this course, the instructors will: (1) present the latest information available in this rapidly evolving field, (2) spend most of the time discussing the practical aspects of CO2 sequestration, and keep discussion on the theoretical topics to a minimum, and (3) provide each course attendee a workbook containing copies of the instructors’ PowerPoint presentations. The instructors intend to present this course at SPE meetings around the world, wherever there is an interest in geologic storage of CO2.}

_{The instructors, all seasoned engineers and longstanding members of the SPE, offer their extensive industry experience and expertise in CO2 flooding and storage to teaching this course to the SPE members around the world. In addition, the instructors plan to invite knowledgeable CO2 flooding and sequestration experts, who may be attending the SPE conference/ meeting/ symposium before which this course is to be presented, to answer questions from the course attendees.}
