CCS for Reservoir Engineers (RES75)
26-29 May 2024 4 days Doha, QatarCourse Fee: 4350 USD
Description
Carbon Capture and Geological Storage (CCS) will play a critical role in the portfolio of energy companies to meet climate goals and reach net-zero by 2050. It is seen as one method to mitigate atmospheric CO2 concentrations while using fossil fuels in the energy system. For CCS to become a viable option for carbon reduction strategies, several challenges must be overcome. Among them, the geologic storage of CO2 is a key technology.
The objective of this course is to discuss and present the required reservoir engineering skills for safe and effective storage of CO2 in the subsurface geologic formations. Focus is given on depleted hydrocarbon fields and deep saline aquifers as these types of underground storage are becoming mature technologies soon.
The course will cover relevant regulatory frameworks, fluid properties of CO2 and data collection, but the main focus will be on reservoir engineering methods during static and dynamic modelling as well as risk assessment based on the three driving pillars: (a) injectivity, (b) capacity, and (c) containment of carbon dioxide.
COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS: MS Office (Excel, Word and Powerpoint)
Participants are welcome to bring their own laptops to class.
Course Level: Skill
Instructor: Leonhard Ganzer
