Carbon Alpha’s Patrick Elliott connected with Carbon Unbound to discuss the North Star project and Carbon Alpha’s CDR expertise in their #UnboundShowcase. Check out the article here https://lnkd.in/gg_DBKiT

The CHaSM committee is pleased to introduce our second speaker and Geomechanics Subject Matter Expert for tomorrow's CHaSM Meetup: Patrick McLellan, M.Sc., P.Eng. Pat is a dedicated professional that cannot escape the energy sector, no matter how hard he tries to retire. He is a 'semi-retired' engineering consultant and course instructor for the energy and environmental sectors --- and busier than ever! Pat founded Advanced Geotechnology Inc. in 1994, a geomechanics consulting, training and software firm that was sold to Weatherford International in 2006. He has an impressive CV with research, teaching and technical leadership advisory roles with Shell, Talisman Energy, and through his own engineering consultancy McLellan Energy Advisors Inc. His broad technical expertise in reservoir characterization, drilling, completions, and reservoir engineering across conventional, unconventional, heavy oil, CCUS, geothermal and wastewater management makes Pat an exceptional speaker for our next Geomechanics-themed CHaSM meetup.  His carbon storage project experience includes fractured reservoir characterization, induced seismicity risk assessment, caprock and wellbore integrity, in-situ stress measurement, coupled reservoir-geomechanical simulation, laboratory testing, and reservoir monitoring. Pat currently instructs short courses on petroleum geomechanics, caprock integrity and CCUS. He is also the co-chair of the CEGA Structural Geology Division and the lead author of the In-Situ Stress chapter of the 2027 CEGA Geological Atlas of the WCSB. Pat will present 'In-situ Stress in the WCSB: Insights from Preparing the CEGA 2027 Atlas Chapter and Implications for CCS.' Surprisingly, tomorrow marks his first CHaSM meetup! Let’s give him a warm welcome. 😊 #chasm #geomechanics #cega #geologyrocks #carbonstorage #ccs #ccus  

LAST CALL for CHaSM tickets! Please join us for our CHaSM Meetup on Wed June 26th:  Don't Go Breaking Apart: Geomechanical considerations to ensure your Carbon Storage Project is a SMASHING success! Don't stress! To celebrate CHaSM's one year anniversary, the planning committee has pressured TWO geomechanics subject matter experts to share their knowledge with the CHaSM community. These technical professionals are crushing the CCS/CCUS space. Don't miss out! Speakers: Kevin Webb (Aquitaine Energy) - Rock Solid Strategies: The Groundbreaking Role of Geomechanics in Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) Patrick McLellan (McLellan Energy Advisors Inc.) - In-situ Stress in the WCSB: Insights from Preparing the CEGA 2027 Atlas Chapter and Implications for CCS Sponsors: Geofirma Engineering Ltd. Engineering Inc. (lunch sponsor) Carbon Alpha (event host) Sales end at 6PM tonight 😊 https://lnkd.in/g3kDs9fA #chasm #ccs #ccus #geomechanics #geologyrocks #geoscience #community #carbonstorage #wcsb

Check out this interview with Carbon Alpha’s Patrick Elliott and the International CCS Knowledge Centre where he discusses the North Star Project and Carbon Alpha’s expertise. 

The CHaSM Committee is thrilled to welcome Kevin Webb as our first Geomechanics Subject Matter Expert taking the stage on Wednesday June 26th.  Kevin is a recovering geologist turned geomechanicist with 20 years of managerial proficiency in reservoir development studies and a best practice approach. He specializes in diverse areas such as CCS assessment, subsurface geosciences, and project management. After 17 yrs with TotalEnergies, including 12 years abroad, during which he worked as a specialist in France, Indonesia, and the Congo, he recently moved back to Calgary to open his own geomechanics consulting company, Aquitaine Energy. Kevin’s CHaSM talk is titled “Rock Solid Strategies: The Groundbreaking Role of Geomechanics in Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS)”  He will provide a practical overview of the geomechanical workflows recommended for each carbon storage project development stage. Kevin is passionate about his work, animated and funny…so don’t be surprised if you periodically ‘crack up’😉  Only 20 tickets remain! To respect our lunch sponsor Geofirma Engineering Ltd. and any waitlisted guests, please RSVP only if can attend on June 26th and/or manage your availability status accordingly. Thank you for being considerate of other CCS/CCUS enthusiasts!     If you'd like to become a CHaSM Member, please email events@carbonalpha.com to be added to our VIP distribution list. Memberships are free, and it grants you early access to future CHaSM meetups and networking events. We look forward to welcoming you all next Wednesday.     #geologyrocks #geomechanics #ccs #ccus #carbonstorage #co2sequestration #CHaSM #carbonhub

You advised, we listened! Audience members were polled during April’s ‘Mentimeter Madness’ event, which yielded invaluable feedback for what CHaSM topics should be prioritized for future Meetups. As per popular vote shown in the following Word Cloud, the CHaSM planning committee has proudly organized a Geomechanics-Themed Meetup to honour your requests and celebrate CHaSM’s ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! (Time flies when you’re having fun.) Geomechanics subject matter experts Kevin Webb and Patrick McLellan will present their recommended geomechanical workflows and an update of in-situ stresses in the WCSB during our Summer CHaSM Meetup: ‘Don't Go Breaking Apart: Geomechanical considerations to ensure your Carbon Storage Project is a SMASHING success!’ Please join on Wednesday June 26th from 11:30-2PM to learn, collaborate, and celebrate with your fellow CHaSM Members. Thanks to our generous lunch sponsor Geofirma Engineering Ltd. and all the volunteers for making this decarbonization community so awesome.

Carbon Alpha’s Lee Hunt will be presenting a series of talks at #geoconvention2024 next week on a new method for Onshore CCS Seismic MMV called Theseus 24D. This method was developed by Carbon Alpha’s Lee Hunt, Eric Street and Graham Hack in partnership with BJV Design Inc.’s Jason Schweigert and Matthew Allen. You can attend these presentations on Monday, June 17th during the CCS Workflows morning session that is being chaired by Carbon Alpha’s Taylor Berezowski and Ryan Lemiski. The CCS Workflows session starts at 8:35 am in Glen 201-202, and the Theseus presentations will begin at 9:25 am.

June is National Indigenous History Month (#NIHM) and it is an important time to recognize and celebrate the legacy, resiliency, and diverse cultures of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples across Canada. Carbon Alpha honors the stories and accomplishments of Indigenous Peoples, and we will continue to deepen our understanding of their rich history to better support our Indigenous partners, colleagues and friends.
