Workshop Details
The demand for natural gas has increased significantly due to the growth of the world economy and also due to its value as the transitional fuel for the future. Presently, CO₂ and H2S content in gas fields globally accounts for up to 90% and 15%, respectively. Several gas fields either remain unexplored or have not been monetized due to technological limitations and the high costs involved in their development. Limited availability of sub-surface and engineering data and complex reservoir characterization impose additional challenges while building a business case of these fields. These challenges are driving the need for the industry to explore new alternatives for more cost-effective and sustainable exploration and development of high CO₂, high contaminant fields.
This workshop will serve as a platform for industry practitioners, subject matter experts and researchers to share their experiences and exchange knowledge on:
- Regulatory trends
- Overall high contaminant(s) discoveries and appraisal challenges
- Challenges in the quantification of contaminant(s) during the exploration phase
- Emerging technologies, solutions and digitalisation
- Best practices and lessons learned
Operators and technology providers need to determine whether the “cradle-to-cradle or cradle-to-grave” option is most suitable for each of their fields. This workshop will take the participants on a journey through the origins of contaminants; CO2, H2S and Mercury, to the workflows, tools and technologies applied to identify, manage, and safely dispose of these contaminants.
Workshop Objectives
This technical workshop aims to discuss an integrated and holistic approach to the application of cost-effective exploration, development and production of high CO₂, high contaminant fields through understanding regulation, emerging technologies, and their environmental impact. Participants are expected to:
- Have an open discussion on factors affecting the measurement and monitoring of high CO₂, as well as exploration and development of high H2S and high mercury fields while gaining insights into the solutions, methods, and new technologies available.
- Further investigate ways to reduce risk in the monetization of these fields
- Strengthen the role of geosciences and engineering in predicting, avoiding, and managing the contaminated fields
- Gain knowledge from case studies and experience shared by industry practitioners and researchers on tackling contaminated fields (both mature and green)
- Open a discussion on proven and emerging technologies in managing contaminated gas fields and addressing the operational challenges

Who should attend
This workshop is aim at global peers from the geoscientists, petroleum engineers, drilling engineers, petrophysicist, geologist, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, data scientist, academia and other relevant disciplines from the industry who can benefit from the synergy provided by the content of this workshop
Workshop Format
The format of the workshop will feature presentations by invited key experts in their field and share their experiences. The workshop will serve as a unique opportunity to have an open and extended discussions among the participants.
6 sessions (2 days) and 2 panel sessions. We will aim for one opening speaker per day with closing session at the end of the workshop to serve as outlook going forward. The Oral presentations are made up of 15 min talk followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. After each session 30 minutes discussion session will be planned. The objective of this session is allow participants to discuss in details and learn from each what has worked for them and debate on issues and challenges facing them during their daily workflows. Session chairs will also serve as discussion leaders during the 30 minutes.
