Carbon capture and storage
Students are invited to attend on 1 April with full access to all oral and poster sessions, exhibition, and the refreshment break.
Mark your calendars for the second SPE Live featuring the 2025 TWA Energy Influencers.
Jim Clark, a reservoir engineer with more than 4 decades of experience, reflects on the evolution of subsurface engineering and CCS, emphasizing the growing importance of analytics, cross-disciplinary skills, and technical curiosity for the next generation of engineers.
-
Researchers have developed a low-cost carbon capture technology called PICC that uses only water and pressure to remove nearly all CO2 from industrial exhaust, offering a simpler, cleaner, and more affordable alternative to traditional chemical methods. -
Allison Taylor, SPE, is studying whether nanogels can improve how gas, specifically CO2, is stored underground during CO2 flooding operations.
-
The 1-month project, led by UT Austin's Estibalitz Ukar, will pump CO2-rich water into a 400-m-deep well to test if magnesium-rich rocks at the test site can capture CO2 by turning it into stable minerals.
-
After a decade of research, the project boasts several achievements including drilling two test wells at depths below 9,800 ft, detailed geologic modeling and reservoir characterization, and multiple publications.
-
The program will train more than 1,200 workers across Canada for careers in carbon capture, utilization, and storage.
-
Learn how scalable modeling methods help turn the complex design of CO₂ storage systems into practical solutions.
-
With the right governance, CCS funding can be a strategic tool to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, safeguard jobs, and help meet net-zero goals.
-
Yurii Moroz, SPE, reflects on his career journey from field operations to leading new energy project management including hydrogen, geothermal, CRM, and CCS projects at Ukraine’s largest state-owned gas company.
-
David Nnamdi, SPE, speaks about his work as a data scientist and engineer, his development of Sequestrix, an open-source CO2 transport network optimization tool, and where he sees data science and AI’s role in the future of sustainable energy.
-
While some see CCS as a vital tool for reducing emissions, others are exploring whether its current deployment aligns with long-term climate and clean energy goals.
