How much do you know about carbon capture and sequestration? Read this detailed analysis on how it works and the methods for it being monitored.

June 13 – 17 and 21 – 24 (9 days; 4 hrs./day). Times TBD

ISTI will host another of our popular Earthworm training courses, online (9 days total). Earthworm is the popular open-source regional earthquake data acquisition and location processing system.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a major carbon capture and storage project (CCS) in Lea County, New Mexico. This project is thought to be the largest of its kind in the Permian Basin. Carbon dioxide (CO2) will be sequestered from Lucid Energy Group’s Red Hills gas processing complex (see Major CCS project given the green light in New Mexico).

Update : An area of the Permian Basin has been categorized as a “Seismic Response Area” (SRA) after a recent magnitude 4.2 or 4.5 earthquake near Stanton, Texas.

Multistage stimulation will revolutionize the Geothermal industry (see https://jpt.spe.org/why-multistage-stimulation-could-transform-the-geothermal-industry) and open up the west to producing energy on the order of 60 Gigawatts of energy if these oil and gas techniques work for geothermal wells!

ISTI’s team has decades of experience with the AQMS software that was used to monitor the earthquakes and other ground-shaking events from this eruption. ISTI’s experts helped the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory to get this software tuned and operational on a Linux platform 6 months before the eruption began.

This winter 2022, ISTI will host another of our popular training courses, online (5 days total), this time on AQMS.

April 24, 2020 Update

ISTI’s Sid Hellman put together a nice web UI to help people find the number of cases in their counties in the USA. Please refer to the CDC web pages for what you should be doing to be safe from COVID-19.

A recent Richter Magnitude 3.4 earthquake (OGS magnitude) was felt and caused the shut-in of a well being completed in Oklahoma. This closure and the logic for monitoring was discussed in a recent article in “The Oklahoman”.

NEW DATES: 2020 Earthworm Course Online, June 8 – 12 and June 15 – 18; 9 days; 4 hrs./day. Start time: 9am New York Time (EDT).

Note: The class was previously scheduled to begin a week earlier, but with COVID impacts, we’ve needed to be adaptable with our scheduling. Thank you for your understanding.
