Subsurface CO2 Sequestration (RES73)
Description
This course will develop your understanding of the fundamentals of subsurface CO2 sequestration or CO2 storage in saline aquifers, depleted or producing hydrocarbon reservoirs and methane coalbed seams.
It provides you with scientific principles and mathematical tools to help in the design and selection of subsurface CO2 sequestration projects as a proposed technical solution to reducing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere by injecting it underground.
Course Level: Advanced
Duration: 5 days
Instructor: Edmond Shtepani
