An Emerging Field for Energy Professionals

The maturing carbon market is a major driver for deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects. Both the subsurface technical knowledge and related data sets of the petroleum industry are major inputs required for the world to successfully move towards a carbon-neutral and sustainable energy future. CCUS has experienced growing interest over the past two decades, due to the desire to reduce CO₂ emissions and to make industrial sources more environmentally sustainable. More recently, policy instruments such as the expanded Section 45Q federal tax credits - up to $35 per tonne for EOR and $50 for geologic storage - and carbon credit mechanisms such as California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) are providing opportunities that offset deployment costs and can result in CCUS being a potentially profitable enterprise.

Plan now to attend Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) 11–13 March 2024 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. Themed "An Emerging Field for Energy Professionals," this in-person unites AAPG, SPE, and SEG and highlight current CCUS work and address related challenges, including:

• Subsurface Geologic Storage
• CO₂ Enhanced Hydrocarbon Recovery
• Reservoir Monitoring and Risk Assessment
• Case Studies
• Industry Applications
• Economics, Incentives, and Policy
• Infrastructure
• Non-technical considerations

Exciting keynote speakers and lunch panels will drive the discussions of the future of energy. Technical speakers will represent research institutions, universities, and industry. The work presented at the event will demonstrate the ongoing need for skilled petroleum geologists, geophysicists, and engineers to help define the future of carbon management.
