Training

OGS can help with training staff in your organisation new to CO₂ Storage, starting from theory to the use of software needed for more advanced studies requiring computational modelling. There are two training courses available:

• CCS theory courses
• Software training courses

Both courses can be delivered online or in-situ.

CCS Theory course - Engineering Aspects of CO₂ Storage

Before embarking on any study which involves building static and/or dynamic models of the subsurface, there needs to be a clear understanding of the questions that are being addressed. This course aims to provide that understanding in relation to CO₂ storage.

Simple models in the form of analytic expressions and spreadsheet solutions are discussed by which the participants can estimate the pressure change that will likely occur from CO₂ injection into saline aquifers or depleted gas fields. We also consider CO₂ movement within the reservoir and near wellbore flow or injectivity. Flow in wells and pipes can be discussed to give an end-to- end perspective. A discussion of fluid models and relative permeability effects is offered to aid comprehension of dissolution and residual trapping effects.

The course can be tailored to the client’s specific interests, say just focussing on closed saline aquifers, or expanding the scope to look at the development of dynamic simulation models (via the OGS software package) using client or publicly available data.

Please contact us for more information.

Software Training course

The course introduces the OGS software package by explaining the physics it can model, the input data required, the available output and how it integrates with the industry work flow.

The trainees run a number of practical CO₂ storage examples assisted by OGS personnel, and interactive Q&A sessions are organised to answer user questions and advice on modelling practises.
