University of Texas introduces training programme for carbon capture and storage.
A new training programme for prospective workers in the carbon capture and storage industry will target geoscientists and engineers currently working in the oil industry as well as academic scientists. Under development by the Alliance for Sequestration Training, Outreach, Research and Education at the University of Texas, Austin, the programme has a three-year US$994,702 grant from the US Department of Energy and will become self-sustaining after the grant expires, according to project director Hilary Olson. Topics covered will include resource assessment, site characterization, reservoir engineering, geochemical and geomechanical impact and risk assessment.
