Carbon Capture and Storage in the Oil and Gas Industry: Solutions for the Energy Transition introduces engineers to the basics in CCUS and how oil and gas can support activity. Containing both academic and corporate contributors, topics include screening selection, best practices, and the latest advances. Field applications and available case studies are included to help users learn and apply concepts to real-world applications. Lead by three experienced oil and gas experts, this book will define and guide the oil and gas engineer into a must-have skill in energy transition that will help them contribute to net zero goals.This is a climate mitigation action which caters to the assets (in terms of geological storage capacities and existing infrastructure) and technical skills (i.e., expertise in subsurface technology) of oil and gas producers. The literature through journal outlets is climbing rapidly, but there is still no CCUS or a go-to reference that trains the oil and gas engineer.
