Carbon Capture Storage and You: Exploring Paths and Careers in CCUS

  • 1.  Carbon Capture Storage and You: Exploring Paths and Careers in CCUS

    Posted 05-19-2025 08:25 AM

    Hello Colleagues,

     

    We are excited to inform our members about an upcoming webinar hosted by the (CCUS TS). This webinar is titled "Carbon Capture Storage and You: Exploring Paths and Careers in CCUS". This webinar is free to SPE members!

     

    Date: Thursday, 29 May 2025

    Time: 08:00am CDT

     

    Abstract:

     

    Join us for a dynamic session on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCUS), tailored for young professionals. Matthew will share key lessons from his journey applying reservoir engineering to both oil & gas and CCS projects. Eduardo will highlight the vital role of geology and geophysics in CO₂ storage, drawing from his career at SLB. He'll also give a brief look at the latest software tools used to train new SLB PetroTechnical Engineers on their CCS path. This talk will have a unique mix of technical insight and career experience to inspire the next generation of energy professionals.

    Speaker bios:

     

    is a senior reservoir engineer with Chevron Australia. Since joining the company in 2003, he has served in exploration, development, CCUS, and production roles. Flett has authored or coauthored more than 10 technical papers and holds one US patent. He holds a BSc and a BEng degree with honours in chemical engineering from the University of Adelaide and holds a Doctorate in petroleum engineering from Curtin University of Technology. Flett is a member of SPE. He is the recipient of SPE Regional Service Awards (2013 and 2022) and is the Section chair of the SPE CCUS Technical section and the chair of SPE Australia/NZ/PNG Council.

     

    is a Geoscientist (Geologist and Geophysicist) with over 16 years of experience working for SLB on various types of projects, ranging from reservoir characterization to drilling. He has substantial experience as a borehole geophysicist in processing and field acquisition as a wireline field engineer. Currently, he serves as a global geosciences instructor, a role he has held for nearly four years.

     

    Eduardo's participation in multiple forums and projects, as well as his patent in AI, underscores his solid career at the company. As a global instructor for the Middle East Learning Centre, he is the only instructor responsible for two domains, delivering up to 80% of the curriculum, including field trips and acquisition tools from the Reservoir Performance product line. He also handles Carbon Capture Storage Interpretation & Modeling training and supports rig tours in collaboration with other Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).

     

    He has been recognized by numerous clients, from National Oil Companies (NOCs) to International Oil Companies (IOCs), for his accuracy and efficiency in all his assignments. One of his latest achievements was revamping the Geology and Geophysics curriculums with the latest high-end technologies, such as data science, data analytics and machine learning, linked to core domain, energy transition, and digital topics. This ensures that the curriculums are up to date and the knowledge will reach new generations of geologists and geophysicists, preparing them to work on these innovative projects.
