Abstract
The expertise and experience of petroleum industry around the world is playing a key role in developing and commercializing the geologic CO2 storage, a necessity technology for achieving a balance in anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions by sources and removals by sinks of GHG. However, for realizing the full potential of geologic CO2 storage as a future service industry, petroleum industry needs to overcome various obstacles and barriers including the recognition of geologic CO2 storage as part of their core business, training of both the existing and the future workforce of the petroleum industry to prepare them for meeting the engineering challenges of designing, operating, and managing future geologic CO2 storage projects, and an improved understanding of various engineering aspects of the simultaneous CO2 enhanced oil recovery and storage strategy.
