Course Content

This course is aimed at those who would like to understand the petrophysical problems related to geologic carbon sequestration and the application of well logs to subsurface characterization and monitoring. The course is designed for those who desire a foundation in general well log analysis and petrophysics, with relevant applications to geologic carbon sequestration. The course is for students and early and mid-career geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers.

Course modules will center on a few essential elements:

  • Overview of geologic carbon sequestration
  • Revisiting regulations of CO2 injection wells (e.g., Class VI wells in the US)
  • Petrophysical requirements
  • Controls of rock types and rock properties on CO2 injectivity, storage, and confining capacity
  • Basics of well logging tools
  • Application of well logs and core data to delineate and map CO2 storage window, confining zones, and risks
  • Static carbon storage capacity vs. pressure-space-based storage capacity estimates
  • Overview of downhole tools for subsurface monitoring

Attendees are requested to bring their laptops for in-class activities.

  • A wait list is automatically created if a short course sells out. AAPG will notify you if space becomes available.
  • Before purchasing non-refundable airline tickets, confirm that the course will take place, as courses may be cancelled if undersubscribed.
  • Please register well before the deadline of 6 February 2025. Short course cancellations due to low enrollment will be considered at this time. No refunds will be allowed on short courses after 6 February 2025
  • We will continue to take registrations for short courses not cancelled until they are either sold out or closed.
  • Courses will be held in the George R. Brown Convention Center unless otherwise indicated. Participants will be advised via email of the specific location approximately two weeks prior to the course.

Cancellation Policy

  • Cancellations can be made by contacting CCUS Registration on or before 14 February via email at ccus@aapg.org
  • Cancellations received on or before 14 February will receive a refund LESS a US $75 processing fee.
  • Refunds will not be issued after 14 February or for “no shows.”
  • You may substitute one participant for another.
