October 2004 (Still in Planning) – DTI Workshop Addressing Issues Associated with Converting Offshore Wells and Facilities for Use with CO2 Injection , London or Aberdeen (to be determined)
A two day workshop is planned for Production Technologists and Facilities Engineers to cover the issues involved in converting offshore wells and facilities for use in CO2 EOR projects. Together with ensuring an economic supply of CO2, the difficulties and costs of converting wells and facilities have been highlighted by operators as being major areas limiting the introduction of CO2 flooding to the North Sea. The workshop will be led by experts from the USA who have been involved in converting onshore facilities for use with CO2 injection, but who are also knowledgeable in offshore facilities. The workshop will assess how much of the US experience translates to North Sea application, and identify areas of concern, uncertainty and possible high costs. Specifically, it will identify critical areas for CO2 conversion where expenditure should be such as to ensure a safe but not over-engineered solution.
Please let David Hughes, RML (david.hughes@senergyltd.com) or Tissa Jayasekera (tissa.jayasekera@dti.gsi.gov.uk) know if you, or representatives of your company or organisation, would be interested in attending this workshop.
