From 21 to 23 February, ANPERC and CCRC Centers represented KAUST at IPTC 2022. The three days conference focused on the energy of the future.
ANPERC presented three main projects:
- CO2 and Geothermal Subsurface Solutions – Closing the Cycle
(Collaborators: Prof. Thomas Fikbeiner (ANPERC), Volker Vahrenkamp, (ANPERC) and Prof. Martin Mai (ERSE)).
Geo-based solutions; low-enthalpy geothermal energy systems in conjunction with CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, Sequestration)
- Gravity-Assisted CO2 Storage & Enhanced Oil Recovery
(Collaborators: Prof. Hussein Hoteit (ANPERC) and Prof. J. Carlos Santamarina (ANPERC))
Enhanced oil recovery scheme using lab experiments and modeling CO2 injection to unlock new oil resources whilst trapping CO2
- Development and Translation of Drilling Technologies
(Prof. Shehab Ahmed)
Creating local impact through drilling technology development and translation. Our developments aim to improve drilling efficiency and reduce non-productive time.
ANPERC Professors and students presented during technical and ePosters sessions.
The event was an absolute success. KAUST-ANPERC attracted media coverage from several media houses, including major newspapers such as Saudi Gazette, Makkah and Al Madina.
The KAUST-ANPERC 2022 IPTC booth was sponsored by the RPP office and we had a lot of help from Badr A. Mesha and Hessa H. Alodwane. We are immensely grateful to KAUST, RPP, the ANPERC team and all the people who visited the KAUST-ANPERC booth during the three-day event.
