2021 February 22nd Meeting - Sherilyn Williams-Stroud "Reservoir Response to Injection at the Decatur, Illinois CO2 Sequestration Site"

2021 February 22nd Meeting - Sherilyn Williams-Stroud "Reservoir Response to Injection at the Decatur, Illinois CO2 Sequestration Site"

A key ingredient for sustainable consumption of oil and gas for the future is successful management of carbon dioxide emissions. At the Illinois Basin – Decatur Site, CO2 injection into a deep saline reservoir started in 2011. The two projects at this site, a large-scale demonstration and an industrial-scale demonstration, together have successfully injected more than 3 million metric tonnes of CO2 and injection is ongoing. The extensive monitoring program in place at the site provides valuable information for optimizing future monitoring programs, and critical data on the reservoir response to the injected fluid that will aid in selection of future carbon sequestration sites.

2020 April 13th WEBINAR - Scott Tinker - "A Sustainable Energy Transition"

2020 April 13th WEBINAR - Scott Tinker - "A Sustainable Energy Transition"

The energy transition is sometimes described as the switch from carbon-based fuels to non-carbon fuels. This narrow lens leads to divisive and unproductive political and social discourse by pitting the environment against the economy. In reality, the production of all forms of energy at scale—fossil, nuclear and renewable—impact land, water, local air and atmosphere. And unquestionably, affordable, reliable energy underpins modern economies and has led to unprecedented economic growth and human advancement. Thus, a sustainable transition will happen when all humans are lifted from energy poverty and environmental impacts of all forms of energy are minimized. Rather than creating false dichotomies of “good and bad” and “clean and dirty,” it is vital that the energy dialog be data-driven, and seek compromise and convergence on workable solutions. Fortunately, such solutions exist.

2020 February 10th Lunch - Tracy Lenz - "Introduction to Reserves"

Join us as Tracy Lenz presents an industry primer to oil & gas reserves. Reserves are the estimates of how much oil and or gas is remaining to be recovered by a company. Or better put, how much “inventory” (oil/gas) is in a company’s “warehouse” (reservoir) and ready to sell. Learn more about what reserves are, how they are calculated, what they affect, how value is derived from them, and the things to watch out for.

All backgrounds welcome, no prior knowledge required!
