Systematic Approach for Carbon Capture Storage Development Plan
Disciplines: Health, Safety, Environment, and Sustainability | Reservoir
Course Description
Green House Gas (GHG) emission is increasing due to more energy consumption as urbanisation, population, economic growth, and deforestation are on the rise and current and enhanced future emission would have catastrophic effect on environment. Rapid economic growth and development increased industrialisation and improved energy access have led to strong growth in the energy demand. Oil and gas plays an important role in the total energy mix and will continue in coming future also due to their affordability and easiness of use. The infrastructure and facilities in oil and gas industry viz, drilling rigs, pipeline, casing and tubular, platforms and chemical produced from other industries also contribute significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. GHG emission in the atmosphere is causing temperature rise of the earth which is a major cause for climate change. Therefore, efforts are being made to control the emission by developing renewable energy resources and managing the inevitable CO2 emission. Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, utilisation, and storage is the best option for mitigating atmospheric emissions of CO2 and thereby controlling the greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere. Despite the benefits, there have been a limited number of projects solely for CO2 sequestration being implemented. The industry is well-versed in gas injection in reservoir formation for pressure maintenance and improving oil recovery. However, there are striking differences between the injection of CO2 into depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and saline aquifers, and the engineered storage of CO2. The differences and challenges are compounded when the storage site is in offshore for bulk storage volume. There is an urgent need to improve yesterday's performance and meet tomorrow's challenge in CCUS in the petroleum industry. Natural gas would be the transition fuel from conventional to renewable energy sources. Therefore, development of contaminated gas fields is linked with CO2 storage.
This training programme is designed to explain the fundamentals of CCS, screening of qualified storage sites, comprehensive storage development plan, estimation of capacity, containment and injectivity. Measurement, monitoring and verification is a critical component in CCS process and that is explained in detail on what needs to be done with proper emphasis on science and technology in CCS process and project. Introduction to technology requirements and its roadmap in a company is paramount and enablers, and capability development aspects are also given due weightage in the course.
- Capture: Includes capture, separation, dehydration and compression of CO2
- Phase behaviour of CO2
- Transport: CO2 transport by tankers, pipeline or ship to a storage site
- Storage: Containment and risk mitigation, and capacity
- Measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV): Ensures secure and permanent storage
- Major uncertainties and associated risks

Course Length
1 Day
Why Attend
As globally recognised, among the main efforts to control GHG emission for sustainable development is comprehensive understanding of CO2 Capture Utilisation and Storage processes. Identification of suitable storage sites, developing storage development plans for efficient implementation and management become critical. As an oil and gas industry professional, it is important for you to understand the challenges, options and best practices dealing with CCS planning, studies, executing and monitoring in order to create awareness among oil and gas industry professionals.
Who Attends
The course is designed for upstream professionals involving in various phases of technical and engineering SDP studies and CO2 capture/separation, transportation, injection as well as for those in measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV) of CCS operation. The training programme also captures major risk and uncertainties, and mitigation measures in the operation.
