Breaking the Barrier: A Conference on Integrating Reserves and Emissions

Sign in, grab some coffee, and network with fellow attendees

Kickoff Presentation for Breaking the Barrier

Exploring the evolving landscape of climate disclosures with a focus on the SEC’s final climate rules and state regulations. Insights into compliance strategies and proactive management approaches.

Compliance with emerging sustainability disclosure and due diligence rules. Perspectives on steps impacted companies may take now to be prepared to report accurate figures.

With emissions becoming more and more of a driver to investment, this session will offer a look at the strategies that can be employed by operators to enable low-carbon developments in mature basins.

The energy landscape is rapidly shifting, with growing regulatory emphasis on climate risk transparency and emissions reductions. This panel will delve into the proposed SEC climate disclosure mandates, the EPA’s Methane Emissions Reduction Plan, and the challenges and opportunities of maintaining sustainability within mature oil and gas basins.

The presentation emphasizes the need for an alignment between the generation of GHG profiles from upstream activities and the traditional reserves and resources assessment.

The fundamentals of emissions reductions as it integrates with your economics.

Reserves and emissions forecasting under one roof – what is achievable based on the data available.

A discussion on bringing emissions and sustainability professionals together.

This presentation dives into the geological components of CCS projects that are analyzed and evaluated during third party due diligence reviews. Integration of geological and geophysical data sets are key to characterizing subsurface risks and uncertainties inherent in any CCS project. The third party geologic validation and verification provides an additional level of confidence and enhances trust among investors, regulators, and the general public.

In this presentation, we will outline the auditor workflow for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) third-party verification, focusing on the application of EPA guidelines for Class VI well submissions. The presentation will provide a comprehensive understanding of the verification process, including key steps, documentation requirements, and best practices for ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

The discussion focusses on CCS economics and opportunities in the short and long term. The focus will be on the revenue (permanent sequestration) and costs along with TRL of capture technologies. The revenue is primarily through Class VI (40 CFR Part 98, Subpart RR) or Class II (40 CFR Part 98, Subpart UU). The costs are highly dependent on the source of the flue gas and its composition. Several technologies are available and evolving for CO2 capture with varying TRLs. The discussion will focus on short and long-term deployment of capture technologies and associated techno-economic assessment.

A sit-down conversation to contextualize CCS, challenges of the implementation, Associated Storage from CO2 EOR, SRMS application, and best practices

A recap of the day’s learnings.
