This requires specialist features, as well as software functionality used for dynamic simulation of oil and gas fields. This course introduces the basics of the reservoir simulation aspect of carbon capture sequestration (CCS) evaluation including the physical phenomena and modeling approaches. It also introduces the approaches to simulate CO\u2082 in saline aquifers, in depleted gas reservoirs, and depleted oil reservoirs with hands on simulation using the Petrel\/Intersect workflow.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <!-- list -->\n                                                        <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"bg-white shadow p-3 lg:p-6 rounded-2xl hover:shadow-lg transition-all\">\n                  <div class=\"flex items-center gap-2 flex-wrap mb-3 whitespace-nowrap\">\n                                          <div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 py-1.5 px-3 w-fit rounded-full text-xs bg-blue-50 text-blue-400\">\n                        <i class=\"ti ti-calendar sm\"><\/i>\n                        Sunday, 29 March                      <\/div>\n                                                              <div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 py-1.5 px-3 w-fit rounded-full text-xs bg-blue-50 text-blue-400\">\n                        <i class=\"ti ti-clock-hour-3 sm\"><\/i>\n                        9:00 am\u201312:00 pm                      <\/div>\n                                      <\/div>\n                  <!-- SESSION TITLE -->\n                                      <h3 class=\"sm:text-lg lg:text-xl font-semibold mb-3 lg:mb-5\">\n                                              <span class=\"text-primary\">CANCELLED&nbsp;<\/span>\n                                              SC-04: The Chemistry of Carbon Capture                    <\/h3>\n                                    <!-- META -->\n                    <div class=\"text-xs sm:text-sm space-y-2 text-blue-500\">\n                                              <div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5\"><i class=\"ti ti-map-pin sm\"><\/i> The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel &amp;

                         <p class=\"mb-3\"><b>Description:<\/b> \r\nConventional wisdom dictates that leaders are born. Let\u2019s say that\u2019s true. What makes them effective leaders in applied geoscience and the broader energy industry? How about Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS) in particular? To better understand what differentiates effective leaders in the geosciences and broader energy industry, this study interviewed over 30 people over seven years from a diverse range of energy expertise and experience. Through presentations and active audience participation, this 3-hour-long workshop discusses conclusions from the study: 1) themes that define excellence in explorers; 2) traits of exploration leaders; 3) the essential elements of The Explorer\u2019s Mindset, the central theme in the study and book, and 4) how these leadership skills can be effectively extended into CCUS as well as other disciplines and professions.\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\nRotzien and Yeilding will lead the discussion and provide unique insights into the following areas with the objective of empowering attendees with what they have learned through analysis of the explorer\u2019s mindset and exploration leadership:\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <!-- list -->\n                                                              <ul class=\"list-decimal space-y-3 pl-5 text-sm text-black leading-6\">\n                                                                                          <li>\n                                    <div class=\"text-black\">There are broad themes demonstrated by the successful explorer, including a pioneering spirit, an exploration mindset, excellence in defining the challenge, power in building teams, entrepreneurship, and business talent. These themes are integral to the success of a CCUS  portfolio as well as other new energies as they are to oil and gas. <\/div>\n                                                                      <\/li>\n                                                                                                                        <li>\n                                    <div class=\"text-black\">These themes can be subdivided into traits that specifically address success in the exploration and production business. From a sound understanding of geologic principles and fundamentals, to the ability to ask the right question, to the exercising of discipline and patience, there are nearly two dozen traits that successful exploration leaders utilize to create value through exploration. While exploration is most often associated with finding petroleum, exploration in this course focuses on finding the right habitat and business proposition for carbon dioxide use or storage. While explorers are often remembered for excellence in one area \u2013 the \u201cdifference maker\u201d task \u2013 the task that set them above and beyond average explorers, these explorers are also masters at many other parts of the exploration process.<\/div>\n                                                                      <\/li>\n                                                                                                                        <li>\n                                    <div class=\"text-black\">These tasks originate in the broad spectrum of activities required for successful exploration and involve clear and intuitive definition of the problem, an ability to bring teams together to action, storytelling and marketing, business acumen and tenacity and grit, with these five traits being distilled into one of the key themes \u2013 and eventual title \u2013 of the book, The Explorer\u2019s Mindset, originally defined by Cindy A. Yeilding in an AAPG Distinguished Lecture Tour in the early 2000s. Yeilding built upon how these characteristics in her conference-opening keynote, \u201cPut the YOU in CCUS: Let\u2019s Explore!\u201d for the first AAPG CCUS conference in 2021. <\/div>\n                                                                      <\/li>\n                                                                                                                        <li>\n                                    <div class=\"text-black\">If leaders are only born, this study is not very useful. But if exploration leadership traits can be defined, studied, nurtured and interrogated, anyone with ambition, work ethic and technical and business savvy can apply these concepts and traits to exploration of new energy and technology applications, improve their own exploration leadership, and in turn, over the long run uses these exploration concepts to yield business success.<\/div>\n                                                                      <\/li>\n                                                                                                                        <li>\n                                    <div class=\"text-black\"> What makes exploration, and hence exploration leadership, different from other segments of an integrated energy business and for that matter, business in general? Do exploration leadership traits differ from those required for other types of leadership? By understanding the uniqueness of exploration and exploration leadership, we can see how effective exploration leaders evolve into broader leadership roles in new energy applications including CCUS.<\/div>\n                                                                      <\/li>\n                                                                                                                        <li>\n                                    <div class=\"text-black\">One of the key strengths of this course is that it goes directly to the source \u2013 the energy industry and its people \u2013 with a focus on oil and gas exploration and production. This work highlights the most important resource in this industry: its people. These leaders originate new play types, design engineering patents, negotiate lucrative contracts, and break down dogma that acts as a ceiling to growth and prosperity, among other critical achievements. While this only includes 30+ personal testimonies, it encourages us to continue to seek wisdom from those who are innovating and creating value. The world is full of these individuals, yet they are relatively rare.<\/div>\n                                                                      <\/li>\n

of CO\u2082 injection. The project has built the latest technologies in multi-physics simulation of CO\u2082 monitoring employing geology, reservoir dynamics, geomechanics, and geophysics. Because this is a project to generate benchmark models, they encompass a generally wider range of exact detail and completeness of data than digital twins of live projects where there is significant remaining uncertainty in the subsurface. SEAM CO\u2082 has generated models and simulations for injection into saline aquifers on land and marine, contained and uncontained CO\u2082 injection, and also injection in a depleted gas reservoir. <\/p>\n                                                            <p class=\"mb-3\">The purpose of this public workshop is to impart the challenges, techniques, and learnings from this project to engineers, geologists, and geophysicists. In addition to direct learnings, the workshop can also provide a platform to describe the research and training potential of the benchmarks generated by the SEAM CO\u2082 project.<\/p>\n
