to the webinar – Deal with the Seal
The series of webinars will go live on
22 May, 5 June and 12 June 2025
at 09:00 – 12:00 hrs.
The Norwegian Petroleum Society are pleased to announce the 2025 “Deal with the Seal” webinar series. The goal is to share knowledge and experiences with seals from the exploration phase to production and injection, plug and abandonment and CO2 injection.
The webinar provides an opportunity to share knowledge between industry experts, industry partners and academia and reach out to a wider audience who might not be experts on the topic but are interested in gaining and increasing their understanding. You can sign up for Early Bird before 1 March.
We have defined the main themes of the three webinars, and encourage submission of presentations spanning topics including, but not limited to:
Fault and Top Seals. What are the challenges of seal characterization for regional evaluation? What are the implications and value during production and P&A? What are the monitoring opportunities and challenges? What are the implications of seals knowledge for exploration and production success and value?
Challenging Trap Seals. What can we learn from complex structural and stratigraphic traps as an input for column height estimations? How do we deal with static vs dynamic sealing and normally pressured vs over pressured traps?
Seal Analysis for Carbon Storage. What are the subsurface learnings applied to CCS case studies and how are the long-term effects evaluated? How do we acknowledge the differences and similarities between hydrocarbon and CO2 seal analysis? What are the learnings from current injection projects?
New Technology in Seal Prediction and Geomechanics. How are machine learning and artificial intelligence improving seal prediction? How are new geomechanical methods influencing workflows, for example seal integrity during drilling?
Submit your abstract
Interested speakers are invited to submit an abstract (~300 words) describing the main ideas of the presentation. Each speaker gets a presentation time of 25 minutes, including Q&A. All presentations will be made available online for the conference attendees.
