Interest in carbon capture and storage (CCS) is growing rapidly as a crucial part of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. To support this growth in capture technology, an acceleration in new CO2 storage project developments is needed. This new book by SEG Distinguished Instructor Philip Ringrose reviews the science and technology underpinning CO2 storage in deep saline aquifer formations using insights from several industrial-scale projects. Available in print or e-book.

This Wednesday at 10 a.m. US/Central! Chris Terra’s dissertation project focuses on using time-lapse ERT and EMI to investigate saltwater transport dynamics during coastal flooding events at two sites: a coastal marsh-forest and a barrier island, both in Maryland. Chris’s work also consists of a synthetic ERT study using the output from a hydrologic model developed from the barrier island site to investigate the anticipated changes in data and inversion quality over the course of different flooding events. This presentation will focus on current findings and interpretations of the synthetic study with field data included depending on the success of current field events.

Attend a free virtual lecture with 2023 North America Honorary Lecturer Agatha Onuwaje on the role of geohazards assessment in the evolving energy mix.
While traditional geohazards assessment for the energy industry has largely focused on predicting, avoiding, and mitigating geohazards that impact oil and gas drilling or infrastructure placement, with growing investment in renewable energy sources (RES) and decarbonizing solutions such as wind, geothermal, CCUS, the geohazards assessment role is evolving.
Staying relevant means adapting workflows and innovating technologies that solve challenges associated with developing RES and decarbonizing solutions. The geohazards assessment tools and interpretation skillset are particularly well positioned to drive evaluations and provide solutions that support RES and decarbonizing solutions.
Dates: 4 October or 2 November.
