Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is an essential component of delivering the UK Government’s 2050 Net Zero promise. The full-chain process of capturing, treating, compressing, transporting and then injecting the CO2 deep underground will require the full set of skills that are prevalent in the oil and gas industry. All of these skills can be re-purposed to plan and deliver successful CCUS projects.
This inaugural conference aimed to help clarify the key issues that need to be addressed for the UK to develop a successful CCUS business. The conference was organised jointly by the Society of Petroleum Engineers Aberdeen Section and the Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain, who are keen to ensure their members are aware of the opportunities CCUS may bring.
