Assessing CO2 Injection Effects in Depleted Clastic Gas Fields, Offshore Malaysia: A Geochemical Perspective

3:45 PM - 4:05 PM

Short Abstract

Biography

I am a dedicated Reservoir Engineer with a focus on the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Department at PETRONAS, where I have been contributing since 2015. I hold a BSc degree in Petroleum Engineering (2015) and an MSc degree in Petroleum Geosciences (2021) from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). My career has been marked by active involvement in numerous technology/research projects centered on CO2 storage in both clastic and carbonate reservoirs, emphasizing formation damage, CO2 flow dynamics, and CO2-brine-rock geochemistry through experimental and modeling studies. Additionally, I have been at the forefront of pioneering research on microbial processes for subsurface CO2 utilization and CO2 mineralization in ultramafic and mafic rocks. My work underscores my unwavering commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and driving innovation in the field.

Optimizing Injection Strategies for High-Performance CO2 Storage: Insights from Lab Experiments and Field Monitoring

4:25 PM - 4:45 PM

Short Abstract

Biography

Dr. Xue is a Chief Researcher with a primary focus on seismic rock physics in earth science. He started his professional career in carbon sequestration in 2000. He was responsible for CO2 monitoring at the first Japanese pilot-scale saline aquifer storage project (Nagaoka project). Now he is the Chief Researcher of Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE). He has teaching experiences as a Senior Lecturer and then an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Earth Resource Engineering in Kyoto University. He served as an Associate Editor of International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control during 2007-2012 and was responsible for CO2 monitoring. He received a B.S. and an M.S. and Doctor’s degree in faculty engineering from Hokkaido University, and a best paper award from Society of Exploration Geophysicists of Japan in 2006.
