O&G Field Development vs. Geological Carbon Sequestration

Speakers: Isabelle Pelletier and Alessandra Simone (Consultants)

Abstract:

Part of the assessment and development of a sink for Geological Carbon Sequestration is to comply with Class VI Permit requirements and ensure a 4D model of the sink and the CO2 plume displacement is built. Many assume that the workflow from the O&G Field development can be simply followed using experience from the O&G industry as a start. However, to succeed, it needs to be adapted as it is not a straight inverse or cut-and-paste challenge. This presentation will browse through some of the learnings, and raise some technical discussions.

About the Speaker 

Isabelle Pelletier started her Ph.D. from France at Institut Francais du Petrole (now IFPEN), in the 90s when interests in CCUS started. Major O&G companies had a Research Department then and initiated efforts in CCUS. It started with Sleipner Field in Norway, Weyburn Project in Canada, and CO2CRC Otway Project in Australia where injection started respectively in 1996, 2000, 1998. Isabelle's majors were Geochemistry and Hydrogeology, which brought her into joining conversations related to dissolutions and precipitations incurred through injection and sequestration. Her career has spanned over 32 years in software development for O&G and currently for CCS implementation. Isabelle's study led her to learn more about computer sciences applied to geosciences (algorithm and numerical equations), (geo)statistics and reservoir development.
