SC-04: Well Logging and Petrophysics for Geologic Carbon Sequestration
Sunday, 24 August | 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | George R. Brown Convention Center
Sponsored by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)
• Overview of geologic carbon sequestration
• Revisiting regulations and petrophysical requirements of CO2 injection wells (e.g., Class VI wells in the US)
• Controls of rock types and rock properties on CO2 injectivity, storage, and confining capacity
• Basics of relevant well logging tools
• Application of well logs and core data to delineate and map CO2 storage window, confining zones, and risks
• Static carbon storage capacity vs. pressure-space-based CO2 storage capacity estimates
• Overview of geophysical and downhole logging tools for subsurface monitoring in near-surface and deep subsurface
• Overview of simple rock physics response of CO2-brine mixture, with implications on monitoring

Notes
Important notes regarding short courses:
• Short courses are limited in size and are reserved on a first come, first served basis and must be accompanied by full payment.
• If you do not plan to attend IMAGE, a $35 enrollment fee will be added to the short course fee upon registering. This fee can be applied to a full-conference registration should you change your mind later.
• A wait list is automatically created when a short course sells out. You will be notified if you are on a wait list and space becomes available.
• Before purchasing non-refundable airline tickets, confirm the short course will take place as some may be cancelled if undersubscribed.
• Please register before 24 July 2025 to help guarantee your spot. Short course cancellations will be considered at this time — no refunds will be accepted for cancellations after this date.
• Registrations will continue to be processed for short courses that are not cancelled up until they are sold out or closed.
