This Autumn we are gathering four leading experts in London to offer you a comprehensive programme of short courses to advance your skills on geological CO2 storage. The Masterclass is composed of three courses, each designed to dive into a different technical aspect of geological CO2 storage, which can be followed separately or as a comprehensive programme:
- Risk Assessment of CO2 Storage by Understanding Coupled Thermo-hydro-chemical-mechanical Processes by Andreas Busch and Eric Mackay
- CO2 Storage Project Design and Optimization (Saline Aquifers) by Philip Ringrose
- Flow Mechanics for Geological CO2 Storage by Florian Doster
The courses presented in this Masterclass are aimed at geoscientists and engineers working in the emerging low-carbon energy sector, as well as the oil and gas sector, technical service companies and research organizations.
Don’t miss the opportunity to add geological CO2 storage to your knowledge and skills: choose one course of boost your skills with an All-Access Pass! And if you register by 9 August you can secure additional savings with early bird fees.
Risk Assessment of CO2 Storage by Understanding Coupled Thermo-hydro-chemical-mechanical Processes
30 September – 1 October 2024
Through this 2-day course led by Andreas Busch and Eric Mackay (Heriot-Watt University), you will learn how coupled processes are implemented in real-world CO2 storage projects to make your own assessment of short to long-term risks for reservoir conformance prediction and containment. Read more
CO2 Storage Project Design and Optimization (Saline Aquifers)
2 October 2024
In this course Philip Ringrose (NTNU) will explain the overall design of CO2 storage projects, focusing on sandstone (siliciclastic) saline aquifer systems. Upon completion you will gain a rounded understanding of the design of CO2 storage projects covering the full timeline – before, during and after the operational phase. Read more
Flow Mechanics for Geological CO2 Storage
3 October 2024
This course by Florian Doster (Heriot-Watt University) will cover the fundamentals of flow in porous media, essential for the safe and efficient planning and operation of geological CO2 storage. Upon completion you will be able to explain why and how fluids move in a reservoir, and to apply models and simple simulators to investigate dynamic storage capacities, pressure build up and leakage risks.
