新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Speaker

Michael Buckland-Nicks is a Program Officer with the Marine Programs at Environment and Climate Change Canada. Since 2021, Michael has been working for the National Capital Region on science and policy issues related to CO2 storage in sub-seabed geological formations, marine geoengineering, and the re-use of dredged and excavated materials. Before that, Michael worked for 5 years in Vancouver with the Pacific & Yukon Region as a specialist in Geographic Information Systems and as a permit officer for disposal at sea. Michael received his Masters degree in Applied Science from Saint Mary鈥檚 University in 2018 and currently lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Lecture

The London Protocol (1996) is a global treaty that aims to control and prevent marine pollution by prohibiting the disposal of wastes at sea. Canada meets these international obligations through the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) Disposal at Sea provisions. Only a short list of approved substances can be disposed of at sea, and only after they have been assessed and a permit has been issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). Currently, the list does not include Carbon Dioxide (CO2) streams, therefore a regulatory framework is needed to store CO2 in sub-seabed geological formations in Canadian waters. In recent years, there has also been growing interest in ocean-based carbon dioxide removal techniques, as well as other types of marine geoengineering, which lacks a complete regulatory regime in Canada.

Maurice Dusseault
Maurice Dusseault

Maurice Dusseault is a Professor of Geological Engineering at the University of Waterloo.  In his 46-year career, he has published over 190 Journal publications, 500 full-text conference articles, two books and many chapter contributions, received many patents related to subsurface technology, given short courses in over 20 countries, lectured in 35 countries on oil and gas-related issues, and started six companies.  Maurice has authored many consulting reports for over 40 companies.  He served the Alberta government as a special science advisor for seven years, sat on expert panels for hydraulic fracturing, deep well disposal, and other issues for four Canadian provinces, American government agencies, and industry. He holds a BSc (1971) and PhD (1977) from the University of Alberta and is a PEng in Alberta and Ontario.  

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Lecture

Massive carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in the deep subsurface 鈥 鈥淕eostorage鈥 鈥 is proposed for large emissions point sources to reduce the overall input of CO2 to the atmosphere. At suitable depths (>800 m) and temperatures, CO2 exists as a relatively dense supercritical fluid (scCO2) about 75-80% of the density of water (蟻scCO2 鈮 0.75-0.80 g/cm3).  Geostorage involves placing this fluid into the pores of suitably porous, permeable strata.  However, because of several physical mechanisms in porous media, only a small fraction of the pore volume (PV) in sediments will be available. PV access is affected by these processes: gravity override, viscous fingering, heterogeneity channelling, capillary blockage, and regional pressurization. Derisking Geostorage projects requires good probabilistic estimates of PV access and injection rates.  To achieve this, good geoscience data are integrated, reservoir engineering studies are carried out, and estimates of the uncertainty are made.  Then, proponents are better equipped to execute technical and economic modeling before expensive drilling is undertaken.  Once initial test wells are drilled, extensive data are collected to further derisk the project before it is designed, permitted, and built.

I am currently working at NORCE 鈥 Norwegian Research Centre, as senior advisor and business developer CCUS and within IOR/EOR. I was trained as reservoir engineer and holds PhD degree from The Norwegian Technology and Natural Sciences (NTNU). I have worked within R&D institutions for more than 20 years, but also worked for DISKOS project (1995-2005) for E&P Data Management and as special research engineer at Total E&P Norway (2005-2025). I was director of the National IOR Centre of Norway (2019-2021) and now as deputy director of the National Centre Sustainable Utilization of Subsurface of the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS2030 鈥 ). In addition, I am working on a number of research projects within CCUS, H2 and IOR.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Lecture

This presentation will give a brief description of the NCS2030 research centre and its main research topics related to the Norwegian Continental shelf (NCS). As a matured oil and gas province, NCS is transitioning toward net-zero emission oil and gas production at the same time becoming an important actor for CO2 storage with its large subsurface resources. NCS2030 will contribute to optimise and maximise the subsurface utilization to tackle the future industrial challenges and at the same time minimise the environmental footprint.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Lecture

Canada鈥檚 global energy peers have heeded the advise of the IEA and IPCC and are taking action to implement CCUS as a key component of their paths to reduce emissions.   Nova Scotia has significant and unrealized natural advantage in the form of offshore resources that offer enough storage capacity to sequester and store all of Canada鈥檚 emissions for decades or longer.   This presentation will analyze competitiveness gaps between Canada and other jurisdictions, as well as widening gaps that exist within Canada. A series of actionable solutions that are needed to collaboratively bridge these gaps and co-create a reliable, efficient, stable and sustainable energy future will be outlined.

Bill Richards
Bill Richards

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Speaker

After 40 years as a geoscientist in the energy industry (mainly with Imperial Oil / Exxon Mobil - including 25 years based in Halifax as a result of the Sable Gas Project) I have combined almost 10 years of mentoring students at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 with consulting at the NS DRR. I developed an interest in CCS through the EAGE student competition, mentoring 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 student teams, then judging the competition, and subsequently organising the last two competitions which used  Scotian Shelf data sets.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Lecture

I will give an overview of CCS potential onshore and offshore Nova Scotia, focussing on geocellular modeling at the DRR and 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 of a world-class opportunity in deep saline aquifers on the Scotian Shelf. This study forms the basis for a 鈥淐CS atlas鈥 similar to products in many jurisdictions worldwide.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Lecture

鈥淪earcher鈥檚 datasets to support carbon neutrality鈥 Carbon neutrality can be largely achieved by sequestering and storing carbon emissions. Seismic data is one of the key tools to help us identify the reservoirs and seals required for carbon storage in the subsurface. This presentation will focus on outlining the applicability of Searcher鈥檚 global datasets but, focusing on offshore Nova Scotia. The seismic characteristics indicating good reservoir presence and excellent sealing capacity will be presented and discussed.

Carla Skinner

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Speaker

Carla Skinner is a Physical Scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada 鈥 Atlantic. Her research on CCUS focuses on geological carbon storage, where she works to better understand capacity, containment, and injectivity using numerical models. She believes geoscience will play a critical role in the energy transition and looks for opportunities to contribute. Carla is an advocate for improving IDEA (Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility) in geoscience and learning how she can do more to actively support others.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播 the Lecture

CO2 Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration (CCUS) is a collection of technologies that could play an essential role in meeting our growing energy demands and increasingly urgent climate goals. CO2 is captured and either used as feedstock for carbon technologies or is compressed and transported to be permanently sequestered. CCUS supports net-zero pathways through several mechanisms including reducing emissions from existing infrastructure, assisting low-carbon hydrogen production, and removing carbon from the atmosphere. This presentation will briefly review what CCUS is, focussing on geological carbon storage.
