Dr. Mehdi Zeidouni Webinar on Tuesday, February 11, 2025
oin us for an in-depth exploration of CO鈧� storage projects with Dr. Mehdi Zeidouni. This webinar will cover analytical approaches to estimating CO鈧� dissolution trapping, highlighting key comparisons with numerical simulations and potential inaccuracies caused by large model discretizations. Dr. Zeidouni will also discuss the often-overlooked role of subsurface temperature data in CO鈧� injection monitoring. Topics include: 鈥� Tracking CO鈧� flow and injection zonation using temperature observations 鈥� Using warmback data analysis to estimate the injection profile 鈥� Investigating surface heat mapping as a method for detecting CO鈧� leakage in legacy wells This session is ideal for professionals and researchers in carbon storage, geoscience, and reservoir engineering. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into CO鈧� trapping and storage monitoring techniques!
