To support this growth in capture technology\, we need an acceleration in new CO2 storage project developments. In this course\, we review the science and technology underpinning CO2 storage in deep saline aquifer formations using insights from several industrial-scale projects. We analyze the main factors that limit storage capacity — constraints governed by flow dynamics\, injectivity\, pressure development\, and geomechanics. Then\, this physical basis provides a framework for determining how to optimize monitoring methods. Using the latest portfolio of geophysical methods for smart and cost-effective monitoring at the surface and downhole (including conventional seismic acquisition\, passive seismic listening\, and fibre-optic sensing)\, we discuss how short- and long-term storage assurance can be demonstrated with high levels of confidence. \nNext\, we address the question of what is needed to achieve climate-significant scales of CCS deployment. Although technically achievable\, the current socio-economic framing often makes storage project execution difficult in practice. By building technical confidence in project execution\, we may be able to ‘turn the dial’ and realize the gigatonne levels of storage needed over the coming decades. \nQuestions answered in this course:\n\nWhat are the main processes involved in the geologic storage of CO2?\nHow should we estimate CO2 storage capacity?\nWhat is the physical basis for estimates of storage efficiency?\nWhat are the constraints to storage? When does injectivity matter? Are pressure limits the main issue?\nWhat are the geomechanical limits? Should we expect significant levels of induced seismicity?\nHow can we optimize monitoring methods to make them smart and cost-effective?\nHow reliable is time-lapse seismic monitoring for detecting small CO2 volumes in the subsurface?\nHow can fibre-optic sensing (DAS) reduce the costs and footprints of monitoring schemes?\nHow can we apply advanced analysis (e.g.\, FWI) for monitoring using sparse acquisitions?\nHow can we assure long-term containment? What about leakage risks?\nAnd finally\, is the required global scale-up in CCS deployment achievable?\n\n\n\n\n\nGoals\nThe goal of this course is to review the main concepts involved in the engineered storage of CO2 in saline aquifer formations\, dispelling some common misunderstandings along the way. After explaining the main trapping mechanisms\, we critically assess methods for estimating storage capacity and evaluate the key constraints for achieving the storage volumes needed over the project’s timeframe. The course material has a strong focus on geophysical monitoring methods and data sets\, which are key to the stated objective of building confidence in the technology and assuring long-term storage integrity. \nWho Should Attend\nAll those interested in understanding the state of play in saline aquifer CO2 storage technology will benefit from this course. The primary target audience is multi-disciplinary subsurface teams\, and the content covers relevant aspects of geoscience\, geophysics\, and reservoir engineering. Managers\, team leaders\, and business developers also should find most of the material accessible. For subsurface specialists\, the focus is on learning across disciplines (e.g.\, how might flow analysis affect site selection choices or how ‘geological details’ impact the engineering assessment).  With a strong focus on advanced geophysical monitoring (especially time-lapse seismic)\, geophysicists will find the course helpful for designing and interpreting seismic monitoring data sets. This course does not require advanced mathematical knowledge\, although several governing equations are introduced and used. The main objective is to provide an intuitive understanding of the geoscience\, physics\, and geophysics of CO2 storage in saline aquifers. Familiarity with integrated 3D subsurface modelling and seismic interpretation tools will be an advantage but is not essential.

SUMMARY:PESA WA February 13th Evening Talk: The pathway to Gigatonne CO2 storage
DESCRIPTION:PESA WA invites you to an Evening technical talk on Tuesday 13th February.\nThe pathway to Gigatonne CO2 storage\nPresented by Phil Ringrose (Equinor & NTNU / 2023-24 SEG Distinguished Instructor Short Course Leader – Storage of Carbon Dioxide in Saline Aquifers) \nThe large-scale capture and storage of carbon dioxide is a critical component of the route to achieving Net Zero. However\, CCUS technologies are still in their infancy. The IEA calculated worldwide storage-rates in 2021 of approximately 40 Mt of CO2 per year but this needs to be upscaled to 7.6Gt of CO2 per year by 2050. Phil will review the pathway to gigatonne-scale CO2 storage and present details from a case study on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. \n  \nTimings for the event: \nDate: Tuesday 13th February\, 2024 \nVenue: Parmelia Hilton\, Mill St\, Perth \nTime: 6pm – 8pm (Perth time) \n  \n\nPESA Members:                                $25.00 (PESA Members must Log on to the PESA website to purchase) \nSPE Members:                                  $25.00 (SPE Members only please) \nNon-members:                                 $50.00 \nPESA Students Members:              Free (registration is essential)

SUMMARY:PESA WA February Technical Lunch:  Possible compartmentalisation of the Kidson Sub-basin from new geophysical data\, and regional projects in WA
DESCRIPTION:Hosted with thanks to our Platinum sponsor SLB: \n  \n \nGold Sponsors Katalyst Data Management\, IKON Science and DUG: \n                   \n  \nand Silver Sponsors Applied Geoscience\, Delft and Qeye: \n                     \nPESA WA invites you to our technical luncheon on Thursday 15th February.\nPossible compartmentalisation of the Kidson Sub-basin from new geophysical data\, and regional projects in WA. \nPresented by Alex Zhan (DMIRS: Geological Survey and Resource Strategy Division) \n\nThe Kidson Sub-basin of the southern Canning Basin has long been considered as a relatively simple sag deepening into its depositional axis\, presumably in the central part of the sub-basin. This structural model is based on limited seismic coverage and well intersections near the flanks of the sub-basin\, and is here tentatively revised following integrated mapping with new regional data.  The data integration reveals a possible east-northeast oriented basement ridge with a structural amplitude up to 1000 m in the central part of the Kidson Sub-basin. This ridge possibly divides the Kidson Sub-basin into two distinct parts and potentially is a significant feature with extensive implications for hydrocarbon\, CO2 sequestration\, natural hydrogen\, helium and mineral prospectivities of the sub-basin. Although the basement ridge is supported by regional changes in depositional facies and marginal seismic data\, the existence of such elevated feature remains highly uncertain in the absence of a seismic profile across the ridge. Further work is required to confirm its presence and de-risk exploration efforts. \nEvent Sponsors: \n  \nTicket Prices: \nMember (Early Bird): $69.00 \nConcession Member [Retired\, Graduate or Hardship] (Early Bird): $59.00 \nStudent Member (Early Bird): $39.00 \nNon-Member: $99.00 \nMember (Non-Early Bird): $79.00 \nEarly bird pricing ends Thursday (1 week prior) at 5pm (AWST).
