Topic: CO2 Geological Storage from 8 Years of Dynamic Injection at the Aquistore CO2 Storage Site
Lecturer: Prof. Rick Chalaturnyk, University of Alverta and GeoVer Inc.
Rick Chalaturnyk is a Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Alberta and holds an NSERC/Energi Simulation Industrial Research Chair in Reservoir Geomechanics. In this lecturer program, he presented dynamic responses that have been recorded since the completion of the CO2 injection well and the start of CO2 injection began on April 16, 2015 at the Aquistore CO2 Storege Project. He discussed various issues ranging from well integrity to reservoir simulation to seismic monitoring. His key message was "Do not underestimate the complexity of CO2 injection behaviour for full scale projects".
SPE Japan is glad to have him as one of the distinguished lecturer this year. We appreciate his visit and insightful talks, and look forward to seeing the Japan section members in the next distinguished lecture program.
