CarbonNet storage site characterisation and selection processGlobal CCS Institute
The CarbonNet Project has undertaken an extensive geoscience evaluation programme to identify, characterise and select prospective offshore storage sites in the nearshore Gippsland Basin, in south eastern Australia.
The process builds upon basin and regional assessments undertaken at the national level, and focuses upon leads and play fairs assessed using a vast amount of geological data available from 50 years of petroleum exploration and developments in the basin.
CarbonNet geoscience work has been subject to independent scientific peer reviews, and external assurance certification by Det Norske Veritas against the recommended practise for geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) J203.
CarbonNet now holds five greenhouse gas assessments permits providing exclusive rights to explore, appraisal and develop a portfolio of CO2 storage sites.
The project has identified a prioritised storage site capable of storing in excess of 125 Mt of CO2 for which a 'Declaration of Storage' has been prepared which demonstrates the 'fundamental determinants' and probability assessment of potential CO2 plume paths as required under Australian CCS legislation'.
This webinar will be presented by Dr Nick Hoffman, CarbonNet Geosequestration Advisor, and will provide an overview of CarbonNet geoscience evaluation programme, referencing the relevant knowledge share products available on the Global CCS Institute website.

Saline Aquifer Storage Performance at the Quest CCS Project
As one of a handful of large-scale CCS projects currently injecting CO2 into a dedicated saline aquifer storage site, Shell’s Quest project offers a unique case study into the performance of dedicated storage. The Quest project injects CO2 into the Basal Cambrian Sandstone located 2 km below the surface. After the first year of operations, the Quest reservoir has exceeded internal expectations. While the original premise called for eight wells, today only two of three constructed injection wells take 100 per cent of project volumes (~140 tonnes /hr).
In this webinar, Simon O’Brien, Shell Quest Subsurface Manager, discussed storage performance at Quest after one year of operations as well as early results from the measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) plan.

Drilling systems automation is the real-time reliance on digital technology in creating a wellbore. It encompasses downhole tools and systems, surface drilling equipment, remote monitoring and the use of models and simulations while drilling. While its scope is large, its potential benefits are impressive, among them: fewer workers exposed to rig-floor hazards, the ability to realize repeatable performance drilling, and lower drilling risk. While drilling systems automation includes new drilling technology, it is most importantly a collaborative infrastructure for performance drilling. In 2008, a small group of engineers and scientists attending an SPE conference noted that automation was becoming a key topic in drilling and they formed a technical section to investigate it further. By 2015, the group reached a membership of sixteen hundred as the technology rapidly gaining acceptance. Why so much interest? The benefits and promises of an automated approach to drilling address the safety and fundamental economics of drilling. What will it take? Among the answers are an open collaborative digital environment at the wellsite, an openness of mind to digital technologies, and modified or new business practices. What are the barriers? The primary barrier is a lack of understanding and a fear of automation. When will it happen? It is happening now. Digital technologies are transforming the infrastructure of the drilling industry. Drilling systems automation uses this infrastructure to deliver safety and performance, and address cost.

Erikson’s presentation was followed by an expert panel discussion on the future of clean energy, with focus on carbon capture and storage (CCS).
2010-2012 GROUNDWATER PLUME AND SOURCE INVESTIGATION IN CAPPED MSW LANDFILL & CHLORINATED SOLVENT DEEP VERTICAL PROFILING
Kandiyohi County Landfill, SW-79
New London, Minnesota
Additional investigative and possible corrective action measures appeared warranted to remediate volatile organic compound (VOC) contamination in the groundwater at the property lines of a municipal solid waste landfill in West Central Minnesota. This work was required by the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) in 2010. The landfill owner had to
develop and implement a plan that would define the extent of the plume and establish an effective long term groundwater monitoring system.
The source area of the VOCs appeared to be a 23 acre unlined section of the landfill, called the Old Phase I Disposal Area. Preliminary corrective action discussions included total excavation and relocation of the waste material within the Old Phase I Disposal Area to a new lined space on site. Initial cost estimates ranged from 3 to 4 million dollars to complete the relocation of the waste in this area.

Big Data is an emerging technology in Information Management that holds promising returns on investment, as it can provide advanced analytics capabilities. It is well suited for large enterprises, and when used properly, it can lead to breakthroughs in analytics, deriving information from data that was previously not possible. However, a Big Data project cannot be approached using traditional IT system design and methods. Its success relies on teamwork and collaboration among petroleum engineering subject matter experts, senior IT professionals, and data scientists. To ensure that Big Data initiatives do not deliver poor results or disappoint, Big Data projects require significant preparation, which dramatically increases the chances of success. This presentation provides practical information about how to get started and what to consider in your plan, and it gives useful tips and examples for planning and executing a Big Data project. At the end of the presentation, attendees will know what Big Data is, what it offers, how to plan such projects, what the roles and responsibilities are for the key project members, and how these projects should be implemented to benefit their organization. Big Data analytics offers enterprises a chance to move beyond simply gathering data to analyzing, mining, and correlating results for insights that translate into business solutions.

Thirty years ago, Japan was growing so quickly that some predicted it would overtake the United States, while China’s economy was small and closed. Much has changed. China has overtaken Japan as the world’s second largest economy, but as China shifts to a “new normal” of lower growth, observers are increasingly concerned that it may no longer serve as the world’s economic engine. Meanwhile, proactive Japanese economic policy has renewed interest in Japan’s prospects. In this presentation delivered at a recent Asia Financial Forum in Seattle, Cindy Li and Sean Creehan explain how China and Japan impact the global economy.

C4.02: Development of an Integrated Global Water Quality Monitoring and Forec...Blue Planet Symposium
Surface waters are generally viewed as a hydrologic continuum, flowing from inland water sources through estuaries to the open oceans. The GEO Working Group on Earth Observations of Inland and Near-Coastal Waters (WA-01-C4) has organised the Water Quality Summit in Geneva 20-22nd April 2015 with the aim of charting the future of earth observation and in situ measurements based global water quality monitoring and forecasting systems. The relationship to GEO Blue Planet lies in the coastal zone.
There is a crucial need for timely, accurate, and widespread assessment and monitoring and forecasting of inland and near-coastal water quality. However, existing measurement and forecasting capabilities have significant logistical, technical, and economic challenges and constraints, impacting both developed and developing nations. This summit was endorsed by GEO as a part of the water quality task (WA-01-C4) and the GEOSS Water Strategy with the mission to deliver, on a routine and sustained basis, timely, consistent, accurate and fit-for -purpose water quality data products and information to support water resource management and decision making in coastal and inland waters. The Summit goal is to define specific requirements of the water quality system components and develop a plan to implement integrated global end-to-end water quality monitoring and forecasting service. We present the results of this meeting: Development of a strategic implementation and a phased action plan including baseline and threshold service build-outs, with both a short-term and a long-term plan for a global-scale water quality monitoring and forecasting service. Some feedback will be given on the CEOS–GEOSS Water Strategy Implementation plan as well as other international related activities.

technology and methodology to
produce advanced three-
dimensional data using borehole
geophysics to provide you with the
information needed to make sound
technical and cost-effective
decisions for your business. Our
clients include leaders in the oil
and gas industry, mining
professionals, environmental and
geotechnical firms, as well as
municipalities.
With 40 years of experience,
Cardno is an industry leader,
providing fully digital, state-of-the-
art equipment and consulting
resources for specialized
environmental, geotechnical,
hydrogeologic, mining, and
coalbed methane applications.
GLS personnel will determine
logging suites best suited to each
specific application. All of the
suites are generated in fully digital
form. Logs are monitored on the
screen and prints are generated for
immediate use. Data is
simultaneously transferred to a
disk for storage and can be re-
plotted at a later date or
transcribed to an ASCII, CSV, or
AutoCAD ® drawing file (.DWG)
format. Cardno operates a large
fleet of fully-equipped geophysical
logging units.
Geophysical logs provide
continuous, in-situ data.
> Oil & Gas - Within the oil and
gas industry, GLS measures
borehole deviations and
provides downhole video to
5,000 feet. Gyros measure the
orientation of wells to avoid
crossover with other wells or
locate intersections with mine
workings or targets. GLS
reporting also provides
lithologic identification of
materials found in boreholes for
strategic decision making.
> Mining - In the mining industry,
borehole geophysical services
provides valuable data across
the full mining lifecycle, from
exploration to mine closure.
GLS generates information that
can enhance profitability,
improve safety, and reduce
environmental impact.
> Groundwater - GLS is an
effective method for
determining ground-water
quantity and quality. Integration
of borehole-geophysical logging
with water-quality sampling
provides a complete picture,
whether the objective is to
develop a water-supply well or
remediate a contaminated
aquifer.
> Hydrogeology - Various logs
provide detail of the character
and thickness of different
hydrogeologic units penetrated
by wells and test holes. This
information is essential for
proper placement of casing and
screens in water-supply wells
and for characterizing and
remediating ground-water
contamination.

Case Study: Groundwater
Contaminants
The site had multiple ground water
contaminants including dissolved
metals, LNAPL and DNAPL phase
liquids in a complex fractured
bedrock aquifer setting. Goals of
the project were to identify both
shallow and deep ground water
flow pathways which are
dependent on fracture orientations
and ground water gradients. The
borehole geophysics consisted of a
comprehensive suite of logs,
including acoustic televiewer,
electromagnetic flowmeter,
temperature, delta temperature,
fluid conductivity, formation
resistivity, downhole video, and
caliper. This suite of logs provided
the information needed to identify
ground water flow path directions
and vertical gradients, allowing the
modeling of migration pathways of
the various phases of dissolved
contaminants. This information was
critical in order to plan groundwater
remediation at the site.
Case Study: Mining Site - Shaft
and Slope Development
A geotechnical and hydrogeologic
investigation was performed for
development of a combination
vertical shaft and slope entry into a
large underground mine. Goals of
the project were to identify rock
mass characteristics as well as
specific fracture locations, joint set
orientations, water in-flow zones,
and hydrologic parameters of the
rock mass at the site. Borehole
geophysics was performed in a
series of holes at the site to
quantify these parameters.
