Net zero carbon emission goal has shifted focus from the conventional energy resources that were mainly hydrocarbon (oil and gas) and coal fields. Recently focus of Oil and Gas companies as changed to become a broad energy company. Scientific advances are being tried in the energy industry to commercially produce energy from wind, solar farms along with some of the historically known natural sources like hydro and thermal power. Energy landscape in future will primarily depend on the net zero policies and economically viable solutions for the energy resources.
Careful characterization of conventional oil and gas fields and mining areas with proper monitoring strategy is both required and mandatory for the economical extraction and development of the energy resources with adequate health, safety and environment (HSE) requirements. There are various Geophysical methods for the characterization and monitoring of these resources depending on the fluid fill and surrounding geological conditions.
We invite contributions from Geoscientist community with the case study or innovative research contributions highlighting safe and sustainable extraction of energy from Thermal, Hydro, Wind, and Solar farms. Also, we welcome contributions related to characterization, monitoring and safe abandonment of hydrocarbon fields or coal mines ranging from potential field methods, seismic, well logs, CSEM etc. to enrich and share their findings for the benefit of larger audiences in Geoscience communities. Please note that this session is on Energy, Resources and Environment, so we will be very happy to have diverse contributions related to different kind of energy resources and their effect on environment.
