ONE DAY CCS COURSE

---

Covers all subsurface aspects with technical detail. Held over a one-day period of 4.5 hrs first session and 4.5 hours second session. (9 hours total)

This course is intended to start with a broad overview, then dive into detailed technical work, with calculations, worked examples, and sources to familiarize team leaders and technical team members intending to undertake the main engineering and geosciences work relating to carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The content is a combination of high-level, economics, risk strategy and technical aspects.

This course is ideal for: Project Managers, Reservoir Engineers, Facility Engineers, Business Development Managers, Production Engineers, Operations Staff, Geologists, Geophysicists, Project Managers.
