GEO9911 – CO2 Storage - Physical and Chemical Processes

After finishing this course, students should have an understanding of

• the physical and geochemical constrains of subsurface sedimentary systems affected by injection of CO2 can identify and define the major processes and reactions taking place during geological CO2 storage
• know to estimate storage capacity (static and dynamic)
• training in writing a scientific report within a given topic in the subject

PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb.

If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.

PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.

This intensive course consists of lectures and computer modeling exercises.

PhD students will make a written report based on the lectures and a given topic that will count towards the final grade.

Attendance at the first lecture is compulsory. Students who fail to meet are considered to have withdrawn from the course unless they have previously given notice to the course responsible.

We reserve the right to change the teaching form and examination of the course in semesters where 5 or fewer students have been admitted.

• A written report based on the lectures and a given topic counts 50% towards the final grade.
• Final written or oral exam depending on the number of students, counts for 50% towards the final grade.
• All exam parts must be passed separately in order for you to pass the course.

It is possible to take the exam up to 3 times. If you withdraw from the exam after the deadline or during the exam, this will be counted as an examination attempt.

It will also be counted as one of the three attempts to sit the exam for this course if you sit the exam for one of the following courses:

• GEO5911 – CO2 storage - Physical and chemical processes
• GEO5910 – CO2 storage - Physical and chemical processes (continued)
• GEO9910 – CO2 storage - Physical and chemical processes (continued)
• GEO5912 – Geological Storage of CO2 – Introduction and Geological Constraints (discontinued)
• GEO9912 – Geological Storage of CO2 – Introduction and Geological Constraints (discontinued)

Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.

Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during, or did not pass, the original examination.
