I'm thrilled to announce that I’ll be presenting at the upcoming AAPG Rocky Mountain Section Annual Conference in Park City, Utah happening October 6-8! I know the Utah Geological Association (#UGA) has been working hard putting together an excellent agenda, technical sessions, and field trip arrangements. What a beautiful location for this year's meeting! Register here: https://lnkd.in/gkFnVCU2 My presentation, titled "Geologic Considerations in Carbon Sequestration: Rocky Mountain Insights and Beyond," will dive into critical geological factors required for successful carbon sequestration projects. I will also give a high-level overview of CCS status in the Rocky Mountain Region. What states are in the Rocky Mountain Section you ask? The RMS represents AAPG members residing in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico (with the exception of the southeastern corn), Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Other technical program highlights include: - Uinta Basin: The Basin that Keeps on Giving - The Resurgence of the Parado Basin - Rocky Mtn Basins: Don't Forget about Petroleum - Geothermal in the West - Geologic Aspects of Carbon Storage - The Intersection of Petroleum and Critical Minerals - 20 Years after Covenant Field - Energy and Environmental Justice Looking forward to connecting with industry professionals and sharing valuable learnings! Feel free to reach out if you’re attending – I’d love to connect!

Haddad et al (2022) study of underground hydrogen storage showed that "nearly 40% of injected H2 transformed either into H2S, formate and methane due to microbial activities and dissolved into the aqueous phase." However, after 90 days, an equilibrium was reached in the simulated subsurface aquifer reservoir and further depletion of H2 was negligible. Pointing to the possibility of an equilibrium being reached where hydrogen could remain in the free gas phase. Mineralogy and microbe activity will be important for a potential reservoir accumulation of geologic hydrogen. Dissolution of calcite could potentially increase the porosity of a carbonate reservoir to a certain limit. #geology #hydrogen #hydrogeneconomy #hydrogenenergy #hydrogenstrategy #hydrogenstorage #hydrogeninnovation

Dry/underfilled Shallow Structures Mystery: Incomplete Charge? Encountered an intriguing situation with a well on a large structure with a good quality reservoir! Initial Success: Drilled into a significant gas column, initially looking very promising. Rapid Decline: Unfortunately, production dropped sharply within two months, replaced by water. Theory in Focus: Our current hypothesis points towards incomplete hydrocarbon charging because migration stops when source supply stops ( Zhiyong He) Next Steps: While further investigation is ongoing, the initial data strongly suggests incomplete charging might be the culprit. Have you seen such phenomena before? Section after Salim modified Dahlberg, 1995 #oil #gas #exploration #geology

Exploring the groundwater dynamics of Messara basin, located on the Island of Crete, we delve into the wet to dry season transition of 2023. Through meticulous data analysis from a dense network of 767 water occurrence points, including boreholes, springs, and wells, we gain invaluable insights into Messara's «groundwater landscape». Our depth to water level data analysis reveals a significant shift in hydraulic head, reflecting the region's hydrological dynamics. As we construct our visualization at a 1:250,000 scale, bold blues denote areas of sustained water supply, while nuanced red gradations signify notable aquifer depletions, some reaching sea levels. Fields tinged with shades of purple highlight regions where water level cones of depression have emerged at negative altitudes due to overpumping, emphasizing the urgency for responsible water resource management. Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to uncover more insights about Messara's groundwater dynamics. #Geology #Crete #IGME #HSGME #Messara #Groundwater #Potentiometric #Hydrogeology #Geodatabases
