Playing for Keeps: Novel Concepts for Carbon Sequestration

Explore the landscape of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on the Gulf Coast in this 59-minute talk by Alex Bump from the Bureau of Economic Geology. Delve into the key technology for climate change mitigation that utilizes geologic reservoirs to permanently sequester CO2. Examine how experience with oil and gas proves the ability of geologic reservoirs, traps, and seals to retain buoyant fluids over long timescales. Discover how these goals, constraints, and boundary conditions create a unique perspective on effective CCS implementation. Investigate novel play concepts such as Fetch Trap Pairs, Pressure Space, and Composite Confinement, which offer innovative approaches to carbon sequestration in the Gulf Coast region.
