Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Event by SPE, AAPG, and SEG

Registration is now open for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) 2023, 25–27 April 2023 at the University of Houston in Houston.

A growing desire for lower emissions and a sustainable energy future has unleashed record levels of private sector investment and government funding creating an unprecedented concentration of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects. Leveraging the technical geologic knowledge and data that has been cultivated over the past two decades, combined with more recent policy instruments have presented opportunities to offset the costs of CCUS development making it more attainable.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), have joined forces to gather more than 1,500 technical experts from all aspects of the carbon capture lifecycle to innovate, integrate, and advance understanding to create value.

This meeting continues to be the leading event for CCUS management and development and is the best chance you’ll have to gain insights into the technical and business aspects surrounding CCUS.
