Training Program in Carbon Dioxide Sequestration, Frac Water Injection, and Natural Gas Drilling

Sept. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Because of increasing global energy carbon emissions, rising concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) will enter the atmosphere unless major changes are made in the way we produce and use energy—in particular, how we manage carbon. We can minimize this impact by reducing the need for fossil fuels, finding other sources for energy production, and capturing the carbon that is emitted from fossil fuel combustion and sequestering it.

This four-hour course reviews the technology associated with capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants.  The Carbon Sequestering course is part of the Oil and Gas and Petroleum Engineering Courses offered through the distance learning and training program.  This training courses also include petrelum refining, drilling fluid deep well injection, underground gas storage, and oil/gas drilling technologies.  Because of the recent development of the Marcellus Shale in Northeastern Pennsylvania, these distance learning courses provide an effective means of educating the public and professionals.
