Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Project Risks & How to Manage Them – Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)

On completion of this VILT course, participants will be able to:

• Uncover the functions and associated components required to capture, transport and store CO₂ in subsurface aquifers and (depleted) hydrocarbon reservoirs
• Find a systematic and integrated approach to risk identification and assessment for CO₂ storage projects (maturation)
• Appreciate the requirements (physics modelling) and uncertainties to assess the CO₂ storage capacity of a selected site.
• Understand the challenges, data and methods to assess CO₂ well injectivity and well integrity
• Identify the leakage pathways of a selected storage site, and understand the assessment methods and associated uncertainties
• Learn how to design a monitoring program

This VILT course is intended for all surface and subsurface engineers such as facility engineers, geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, petrophysicists, production technologists/engineers, well engineers and geomechanical specialists. Also, (sub)surface team leads, project managers, business opportunity managers, decision executives, and technical risk assessment & assurance specialists will benefit from this VILT course as it provides a common framework and workflow to develop a CCS project.

For each class, it is highly recommended that a mix of disciplines mentioned above are represented to facilitate discussions from different perspectives.

• Basic
• Intermediate

This VILT course is built around cases in which teams work to identify and assess CO2 storage site issues using a systematic thought approach in this course. In addition, exercises are used to practise the aspects of the CCS risk assessment process. The VILT course provides a venue for discussion and sharing of good practices as well as opportunities to practise multi-discipline co-operation and facilitation.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own work issues and challenges and seek advice from the expert course leaders and other participants about all aspects of CCS.

This VILT course will be delivered online in 5 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with 2 breaks of 10 minutes per day.

Trainer 1:

Your expert course leader has more than 36 years of experience in the oil & gas industry with Shell. He gained broad experience in petroleum engineering, with expertise in integrated production systems from subsurface, wells and surface. He has had assignments in Production Technology, R&D, Production Chemistry, Rock Mechanics and Reservoir Engineering cEOR, with a proven track record in technology screening, development and deployment, field development planning, conceptual well design and Production System Optimization (PSO) of gas and oil fields as well as preparing Well, Reservoir & Facility Management (WRFM) strategies and plans. He had also worked on assignments in NAM and did fieldwork in Oman, Gabon and Shell Nigeria. He is a skilled workshop facilitator. He discovered his passion for teaching following an assignment in Shell Learning. During his time in Shell, he developed and taught technical courses to Shell professionals via blended learning.

Trainer 2:

Your second expert course leader has over 30 years of experience identifying, assessing and mitigating technical risks with Shell. The main focal point of his experience is in subsurface and Geomechanical risks. He is the the founding father of various innovations in how we assess risks by tool development (for bore hole stability, 3D geomechanical field evaluations and probabilistic assessment). He also developed an eye for people motivation, change management and facilitation. He was also responsible for the Geomechanical competence framework, and associated virtual and classroom training programme in Shell for 10 years.

Trainer 3:

Your third expert course leader has a Master’s Degree in Engineering from Queens’ College, Cambridge, England, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers in London. During his career he has worked as an engineer for both BP and Shell, beginning in operations and maintenance, and then in projects and site construction. He has worked in some of the toughest places in the world – from the deserts of Kuwait in summer to the steppes of Russia in winter – in projects both onshore and offshore, ranging from new oilfield developments to upgrades to onshore terminals.
