Alterra Energy

Flow Ahead & Alterra Energy are pleased to announce a Carbon Capture and Storage Training in London this March.
This 2-day course will guide participants through the journey of carbon dioxide from capture plants to near-wellbore injection and into the reservoir, combining theory with case studies from real projects. The training will cover aspects of storage in depleted fields as well as in aquifers with special focus on integrated modelling from surface to subsurface.

Who is it for?
Professionals in energy, carbon management, and engineering who wish to develop a deeper understanding of technical, thermodynamic,  and operational challenges of CCS projects.

What you will learn:

• Fundamentals of CCS: what, why, and how
• Thermodynamic behaviour of CO₂ streams and impurities and how those affect storage capacity
• Design considerations for CCS transportation systems (pipelines and wells)
• Transient operations: turndown, ramp-up, shutdown, restart, depressurization, and packing
• Flow assurance throughout the project design cycle
• Subsurface workflow from Site screening to Site Development Plan with a view of integration across geology, petrophysics, geophysics, Reservoir Engineering and wells
• Subsurface – well integrated modelling
• Robust injection planning and integration into a Storage Development Plan

What’s included:

• Interactive course in a small group setting with lots of individual attention
• Held in a central London venue accessible easily from all locations, including refreshments and lunch
• Access to course materials at the end of the course
• Extra allocated time for a specific challenge making the course more tailored to the participants interests

Workshop Benefits:
By the end of the workshop, participants will understand what it takes to design and operate a CCS transportation system, how to select and design a suitable storage site, and how to design a fit for purpose storage development plan that minimizes risks during injection and integrates subsurface to surface disciplines.

Instructors:
Gladys Sucre – Consultant Flow Assurance Engineer

Gladys brings more than 15 years of hands-on flow assurance experience across operators, consultancies, and research. Her career path includes roles as a flow assurance engineer with Advantica (UK), five years specializing in wax and asphaltenes at Shell (Netherlands), consultancy work with Xodus Group (Netherlands), and senior flow assurance engineering at Eni–Tecnomare (Italy). Today, she leads Flow Ahead.
This breadth of experience—spanning simulation studies, laboratory programs, and field operations—gives her a complete perspective on how design decisions impact production. She is dedicated to helping clients connect the technical, operational, and risk management aspects of flow assurance to make informed, practical decisions.

Rowan Haddad – Reservoir Engineering Consultant and Subject Matter Expert CCS

Rowan has 15 years of industry experience in Oil and Gas, from service companies to international operators. She started out her career as a Reservoir engineer supporting simulation projects for enhanced oil recovery, hydraulic fracturing in shale gas, and conventional plays. Rowan gained operational experience in East Africa working on a giant gas field development in a Deepwater environment, as well as in the North Sea working on oil and gas fields nearing their end of life. In the last 8 years, Rowan has shifted her focus to CCS, tying in with the fast approaching end of economic life of fields in the North Sea. as part of her portfolio working in CCS, she has worked to help develop projects well known today as Porthos, and Aramis, and more recently Prinos, a Southern Europe field in Greece. Her experience is focused on integrating subsurface studies to Surface facilities as well as geomechanics and drilling & wells.

Guest Speaker

Varun Pathak from CMG will present an end-to-end workflow using industry software where the wells and reservoir, are coupled to surface facilities outlining the value in CCS projects to allow quick decision making minimizing risks across projects.

Varun is a senior product and implementation manager at CMG. He has over 18 years of experience in the areas of petroleum engineering, product, and project management. He is an expert in the areas of reservoir engineering and simulation, production technology and integrated production systems modelling. He has worked globally on a variety of energy and energy transition projects including EOR, CCUS and geothermal resources. He holds an MBA from Quantic School of Business and Technology, an MSc. in petroleum engineering from University of Alberta, and a bachelor’s in petroleum engineering from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad in India
