LSU, UT-Austin Hosting Meeting on CO2 Storage Monitoring

August 4, 2023 

BATON ROUGE, LA – Media are invited to attend the opening of the International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas (IEAGHG) Monitoring Network Meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 8, at 8 a.m., in the Noland/Laborde Hall at the Cook Conference Center on LSU’s campus.

The event is being hosted by the LSU Craft & Hawkins Department of Petroleum Engineering and the University of Texas at Austin’s Gulf Coast Carbon Center. LSU is represented among the experts by Petroleum Engineering Associate Professor Mehdi Zeidouni.

This will be the 14th in-person meeting of this IEAGHG expert network, which aims to assess new technologies and techniques in CO2 storage; determine the limitations, accuracy, and applicability of monitoring techniques; and share experiences from research and storage projects around the world. The event is split into two separate themes.

Day one’s sessions will be a technical deep-dive into developments in monitoring techniques, methods, and processes aimed at monitoring experts. Day two’s will be aimed more at regulators and regulatory issues in monitoring.

The technical sessions will involve presentations from international experts and discussions on areas such as fiber optics, low-cost monitoring for subsurface seismic, non-seismic methods, offshore environmental monitoring, terrestrial monitoring, and automation and integration of MMV. The regulatory sessions will focus on framing the problem, environmental aspects, and requirements and societal considerations of monitoring.
