If you have an abstract (national or international) that can demonstrate cost savings, collaboration, innovation, new technology, a case history or lessons learned in any of the above themes, then we invite you to submit a 200 word abstract for a formal 20 minute presentation or a 200 word abstract for a five minute ‘Techbyte’ session (a more sales-oriented presentation). Please note that we will consider virtual presentations depending on current restrictions.

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is an essential component of delivering the UK Government’s 2050 Net Zero promise. The full-chain process of capturing, treating, compressing, transporting and then injecting the CO2 deep underground will require the full set of skills that are prevalent in the oil and gas industry. All of these skills can be re-purposed to plan and deliver successful CCUS projects.

This inaugural conference aims to help clarify the key issues that need to be addressed for the UK to develop a successful CCUS business. The conference is organised jointly by the Society of Petroleum Engineers Aberdeen Section and the Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain, who are keen to ensure their members are aware of the opportunities CCUS may bring and many of which are captured within the following themes:

/// TECHNICALSome “back to basics” education around CO2 properties in which their impact on system design and associated HSE issues will be addressed. In addition, this theme should capture the full life cycle of issues related to facility, well and storage design and the potential for re-use of existing oil and gas infrastructure including “in perpetuity” integrity issues. The potential for technology developments in each of the elements of the full-chain CCUS process should also be captured.

/// OPERATIONAL & ORGANISATIONALCase Histories: Analogue CO2 operational histories should be addressed to ensure lessons learned are captured during this session. In addition, the type of companies which may be best suited to successfully deliver against the relatively tight margins of the CCUS business may wish to make their case.

/// ECONOMICThe business case for CCUS is not clear at present, although the UK Government is looking at a range of business models. This theme should capture the latest developments in this area.

/// COMMERCIAL & FUNDINGCCUS will attract significant funding following clarity around the business model and will also create significant business for the full supply chain. This theme should provide clarity around the opportunities that CCUS will likely provide.

/// REGULATORYThe regulations in place in the UK to help safely manage the CCUS business will be highlighted and this theme should aim to clarify how one obtains a storage licence and a CO2 storage permit via submission of an appropriate SDP (Storage Development Plan). In addition, the positive social impact of working in an industry that may help to decarbonise industry should be highlighted within this theme.
