2024 Perkins-Rosen GCSSEPM RC

2024 Perkins-Rosen GCSSEPM RC

2-4 December 2024 Houston, TX at Equinor US

Old Rocks, New Energies

The Energy Transition the Gulf Coast and Adjacent Basins

Announcement and Call for Papers



 Areas of potential CO2 storage for the Lower Miocene 2 of Texas and Louisiana, combining CO2 suitability (depth range between supercritical cutoff and Top of Hard Overpressure (0.70 psi/ft) with reservoir grain volume (inverted porosity) (Snedden, Sweet, and Whiteaker, GBDS UT-Austin).


The Gulf Coast and adjacent basins are poised to become a hub for new energies, including continuing and emerging sources such as geothermal and hydrogen, as well as serving as a storage repository for anthropogenic carbon in the subsurface of onshore and offshore areas. The GCSSEPM Foundation 40th Annual Perkins-Rosen Research conference will open with thoughts on the challenges of the energy transition, broad insights on basin fundamentals, and using that knowledge to guide our thinking on these new energy sources and subsurface storage requirements.

   

This broad research conference aims to attract a diverse set of papers illuminating the near-term and long-range energy future of this complex yet prolific energy-producing sedimentary basin. It will further offer opportunities to explore the range of resource potential in the basin, as well as network with other Gulf basin researchers.

 

The conference themes will include: 

  1. Overview of the new energy challenge for the Gulf Basin
  2. Gulf Basin fundamentals relevant to the new energies
  3. Carbon capture and storage: simulation, modeling, and site characterization
  4. Hydrogen (H2) underground storage and utilization
  5. Geothermal energy: subsurface occurrence and practical application
  6. Water and critical mineral resources in the Gulf Coast subsurface
  7. Transition of existing O&G skills to the new energies; new workforce ideas
  8. Machine learning for alternative energies and critical minerals

 

A mix of invited and volunteered oral and poster presentations will be accompanied by potential short courses and core workshops in Houston, Texas. Student poster sessions and presentations are encouraged.
