Short Course
SC-13: Well Logging and Petrophysics for Geologic Carbon Sequestration
Sponsored By the (AAPG) American Association of Petroleum Geologists
Monday, 26 August
8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
George R. Brown Convention Center, Level 3, Room 352B
The course is aimed at those who would like to understand the petrophysical problems related to geologic carbon sequestration and the application of downhole geophysical logs, core data, and rock physics to subsurface characterization and monitoring. It is designed for those who desire a foundation in general log analysis and petrophysics, with relevant applications to geologic carbon sequestration.
Course Leader(s)
This course is for students and early and mid-career geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers.
Attendees are requested to bring their laptops for in-class activities.

Course modules will center on a few essential elements:
- Overview of geologic carbon sequestration.
- Petrophysical requirements of CO2 injection wells (e.g., Class VI wells in the US).
- CO2 and rock properties: controls on CO2 injectivity, storage, and confining capacity.
- Relevant logging tools and measurements: applications
- CO2 storage capacity estimates: static capacity vs. pressure-space-based capacity.
- Overview of geophysical and downhole logging tools for subsurface monitoring.
- Overview of simple rock physics response of CO2-brine mixture, with implications on monitoring.
