Technical Talks

As Australia accelerates its energy transition, the sequestration of CO2 becomes an important tool for allowing the future development on oil and gas resources. In addition, it could unlock reserves that are currently prevented from being developed due to their CO2 content which could help to keep energy prices low for the benefit of the country. The two presentations today are particularly pertinent and will cover both research and the positive work the government is undertaking to assist with moving this option forward. 
The first presentation will be as follows:

Water-Saturated CO₂ Mobility Control Mechanism for Enhanced Oil Recovery and CO₂ Storage 

We are excited to welcome Muhammad A. Abbas, PhD candidate at UNSW to present the above presentation. Muhammad will present the findings of a study that proposes using water-saturated CO₂ (wsCO₂) injection, where pore-scale water condensation acts as mobility control mechanism. This concept has not been investigated before and offers the ability to both optimize oil recovery and CO₂ storage.
 

This will be followed by second presentation:

Assessing CO₂ storage and geothermal potential in NSW 

We are particularly excited to welcome Harris Khan Senior Geoscientist from Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. 
The Geological Survey of NSW is assessing the CO₂ storage and geothermal potential of the Darling Basin, Australia’s largest onshore basin, covering approximately 100,000 km². The basin comprises Late Silurian to Early Carboniferous sediments across several sub-basins. Work across sub-basins has identified the Pondie Range Trough as the most promising storage complex.
