Workshop 3
Maximizing Subsurface Recovery: From Hydrocarbons to Energy Storage for a Sustainable Energy Future Sunday, June 7th|
Convenors
- Sonia Lopez Kovacs (Repsol)
Description
This workshop will explore how integrated subsurface characterization and engineering strategies can improve recovery and performance across diverse applications-including hydrocarbons, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), geothermal energy, and subsurface energy storage (e.g., hydrogen and CO2). With a focus on efficiency, sustainability, and cross-disciplinary innovation, the session will highlight advancements in geoscience, reservoir modeling, monitoring, and data integration. Participants will gain insights into best practices and novel approaches that bridge traditional and emerging energy systems, supporting the transition toward a low-carbon and resilient energy future. Contributions from both industry and academia will be featured through case studies and technical discussions.
Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop:
- Geoscience
