Following the success of its 2024 edition, the EAGE CO2 Storage Masterclass is back, this time in Utrecht, The Netherlands, from 11 to 14 March 2025. Building on feedback and outcomes from last year, this event offers an unparalleled opportunity for professionals worldwide to enhance their knowledge and skills in geological CO2 storage, a cornerstone of the energy transition.
Expanding on Last Year’s Impact
The 2024 edition, held in London, brought together participants from across the globe. Attendees praised the technical depth and practical applicability of the sessions, with one stating:
“It was an eye-opening session on CO2 migration and mechanisms, especially useful for monitoring and planning.”
The Utrecht edition will once again provide a focused learning environment with a comprehensive program tailored to address the most pressing challenges in geological CO2 storage:
1. CO2 Storage Project Design and Optimization (Saline Aquifers) by Philip Ringrose
Date: 11 March 2025
Gain a detailed understanding of project timelines, site characterization, trapping mechanisms, and long-term assurance strategies. This course provides essential tools for planning and executing CO2 storage projects with confidence.
2. Geophysical Monitoring of CO2 Storage by Martin Landrø
Date: 12 March 2025
The course discusses various methods for monitoring subsurface injection of CO2 . Specifically, the following topics will be covered: Rock physics related to injection of CO2 into porous rock, Time-lapse seismic methods, Gravity and electromagnetic methods, Saturation and pressure effects, among others.
3. Risk Assessment of CO2 Storage by Understanding Coupled Thermo-hydro-chemical-mechanical Processes by Andreas Busch and Eric Mackay
Date: 13-14 March 2025
Understand the role of coupled processes—such as pressure, temperature, and geochemical changes—in maintaining storage integrity. Learn directly from leading experts how to evaluate and mitigate risks effectively.
More Than a Learning Experience
Participants from the 2024 edition highlighted the unique value of the Masterclass’s interactive format and its role in fostering connections. One attendee remarked:
“The interaction with others is a real value. You can’t beat that.” Another praised the course for offering “a good state-of-the-art understanding of CO2 storage risks, invaluable for project planning.”
The Utrecht venue offers a new setting for even more diverse participation and networking opportunities, building on the strong sense of collaboration fostered in previous editions.
The EAGE CO2 Storage Masterclass 2025 is your chance to learn from top experts, gain practical skills, and connect with a global network of professionals. Mark your calendar for 11–14 March 2025 in Utrecht, and stay tuned for more details.
Be part of the conversation shaping the future of CO2 storage and the energy transition!
