Minus CO2 Challenge - A great challenge is coming!

The EAGE Green Fund is inviting all our student members from around the world to participate in the Minus CO2 Student Challenge. This competition aims to encourage innovation and environmental awareness amongst the next generation of geoscientists and engineers. 

Enhance your scientific and technical knowledge

The world is changing – and the challenge of climate change is impacting the oil and gas business in many ways. As with our other EAGE field challenges, we will focus on a real oilfield dataset that will provide practical experience that can help students develop successful careers in applied geosciences. In the Minus CO2 Student Challenge, we challenge teams to use a subsurface hydrocarbon resource but with zero net emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere. Any form of CO2 management may be used in association with the hydrocarbon resource model (eg. CO2 capture, CO2 storage, CO2 EOR or other renewable energy options).

We invite university teams of three to five students to apply from 28 March to 13 May 2022 and take part in this innovative challenge, which has also received generous support from EAGE Green Fund. 

Every team that applies received an assignment, which is sponsored by Shell, to work with. 

Your team will have the opportunity to propose a novel way of utilizing this resource with zero-net emissions.

Please complete the submission of the assignment and if you have any further question do not hesitate to contact us via  students@eage.org.
