CCS-M S6: Workshop on CO2 geological storage and CO2 for EOR

Jun. 07, 2016

The recent COP21, also known as the 2015 Paris Climate Conference resulted in the first agreement requiring all nations to pledge action on climate change with the aim of restricting the global warming to "well below 2deg C above pre-industrial levels".  Carbon capture, use and storage (CCS) technologies will have to play an important role to achieve the COP21 targets. In order to fully understand the emission reduction potential, decision makers need to understand the amount of CO2 that can be safely stored in the geological formations and the geographical distributions of storage resources that are available.  Estimates of geological storage resources need to be made using reliable and consistent methods.  The CCS-M S6 aims to enhance the knowledge of member countries on methodologies in assessing geological storage of CO2 and the potential for application of CO2-EOR technologies.

UCM5: National Coordinators Meeting and Workshop (special posting for the UnCon Project)

May. 10, 2016

The CCOP Technical Secretariat in cooperation with KIGAM, will be conducting UCM5 on 10-12 May 2016.  This is a follow up meeting/workshop to enhanced the understanding of the Guideline methodology for the assessment of oil and gas shale resources.  The workshop will focus on the assessment parameters, work flow, data, and best practices. Discussions on the shale map development is also included in the agenda.  The final venue will be confirmed soon- either in Bangkok or Vientiane (Lao PDR).

UCM4: UnCon Project National Coordinators Meeting (special posting for the UnCon Project)

Mar. 07, 2016

The CCOP Technical Secretariat in cooperation with KIGAM and Cambodia's General Department of Petroleum conducted the 4th Meeting and Workshop (UCM4) of the CCOP -KIGAM Unconventional Oil and Gas Project in Siem Reap as one of the associated Meetings of the 66th CCOP Steering Committee Meeting.  UCM4  provided an opportunity for the national coordinators to share their experiences,  report the progress of their assessment of shale oil/gas resources and also re-examine the goals, objectives and implementation of the Project. 

CCS-M M2: National Coordinators Meeting/Workshop

Feb. 15, 2016

The second national coordinators meeting of the CCS-M Program (CCS-M M2) was conducted at the CCOP Technical Secretariat office in Bangkok on 15-16 February 2016.  The Meeting discussed about the progress of CCS-M, presentation of the Country Report of the participating countries that includes their pledges or Intended Nationally Determined Contributions" (INDC) at the COP21 - Paris last December 2015, and work plan discussions on future capacity building activities. 

CCS-M C1W2: Indonesia case study- Workshop on Public Engagement of CCS Projects

Nov. 04, 2015

The CCOP Technical Secretariat in cooperation with the Geological Agency and LEMIGAS, Indonesia supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Global CCS Institute, conducted C1W2 in Surabaya, Indonesia on 4-6 November 2015.  The Workshop is designed to be practical, with focus on developing the knowledge and capacities of the participants.  The objectives are to learn from experiences of CCS projects concerning the role that public engagement and communication play in the success and failure of CCS Projects.  The Workshop will looked deeper into the experiences of public outreach practices (lessons learned) of various CCS Projects and how these can be applied in the CCOP region.  

CCOP - KIGAM Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources Project (UnCon) - Special Posting for UCM3 Participants

Sep. 22, 2015

The CCOP Technical Secretariat in cooperation with Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) and Department of Mineral Fuels, Thailand conducted the UnCon Meeting 3 (UCM3) in Chiangmai, Thailand on 22-24 September 2015.  The objectives are to use a geology-based assessment methodology to assess the potential of oil and gas shale resources in the CCOP member countries.  The workshop sessions provided an opportunity to look deeper into the various methodologies used in the assessment and agree on the methodology that will be used as Guideline for CCOP member countries.

CCS-M S5: Workshop on maximizing the value and recovery of oil/gas resources

Sep. 08, 2015

The CCOP Technical Secretariat together with the Department of Mineral Fuels, Thailand and in cooperation with the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs conducted the 3rd Workshop of the CCOP-DMF Project on Petroleum Resources/Reserves Classification and Reporting System (coded S5).  The Workshop served as a forum for CCOP member countries to share their experience and best practices in the overall oil and gas resource management - taking into consideration the work flow involved, data analysis, planning and reporting system.

CCS-M C2W1: Malaysia Case Study Workshop on CO2 Storage Site Selection

Jun. 02, 2015

The CCOP Technical Secretariat in cooperation with PETRONAS and Minerals and Geoscience Department – Malaysia, supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Global CCS Institute (GCCSI), successfully conducted the CCS-M Workshop (C2W1) in Kuala Lumpur on 2-4 June 2015.  The objectives are to have a deeper understanding of the methodologies for the selection of technically accessible CO₂ geological storage reservoir and estimation of storage capacity.  The agenda included hands-on exercises to assess and test the CCOP Guideline on the Methodologies for selecting CO₂ storage sites and estimation of capacities using data from selected basins in Malaysia.  The resource persons are from Australia, Norway and CCOP member countries.

CCS-M T5: Introduction to Geographic Information System (GIS) - Applications in mapping for geological storage of CO2

Aug. 05, 2014

CCS-M is an important program that will promote collaboration among CCOP member countries in mapping potential geological storage of CO2. CCS-M training course 5 (T5) is a workshop on the application of GIS system as an interactive tool to analyze data and provide information of CO2 stationary resources, potential geologic CO2 storage formations, infrastructure, storage estimations, etc.  CCS-M will leverage on the experiences and networks of past and existing GIS and metadata projects of CCOP.
