Overview

Carbon Capture and Storage in the Oil and Gas Industry: Solutions for the Energy Transition introduces engineers to the basics in CCUS and how oil and gas can support activity. Containing both academic and corporate contributors, topics include screening selection, best practices, and the latest advances. Field applications and available case studies are included to help users learn and apply concepts to real-world applications. Lead by three experienced oil and gas experts, this book will define and guide the oil and gas engineer into a must-have skill in energy transition that will help them contribute to net zero goals. This is a climate mitigation action which caters to the assets (in terms of geological storage capacities and existing infrastructure) and technical skills (i.e., expertise in subsurface technology) of oil and gas producers. The literature through journal outlets is climbing rapidly, but there is still no CCUS or a go-to reference that trains the oil and gas engineer.

Author Information

Dr. Birol Dindoruk is currently a Distinguished Professor at Petroleum Engineering Department in Texas A&M University. Previously he was the Chief Scientist of Reservoir Physics and the Principal Technical Expert of Reservoir Engineering in Shell and as well as a Professor at University of Houston. His technical contributions have been acknowledged with many awards during his career, including SPE Lester C. Uren Award (2014), Cedric K. Ferguson Medal (1994), SPE Honorary Member award in 2023. He was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for his significant theoretical and practical contributions to EOR & CO2 sequestration in 2017 and later on in 2025 elected to the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). Currently he is the Editor In Chief for all SPE Journals. Dindoruk is the only individual in the entire world serving as an editor-in-chief for the first three most cited oil, petroleum and natural gas journals on Google Scholar. Dr. Dindoruk is well-known for his extensive work on thermodynamics of phase behavior/EOS development, miscibility assessment and experimental work, interaction of phase behavior and flow in porous media, enhanced oil recovery and CO2 sequestration, and correlative methodologies. Dindoruk has 28 years of industrial experience, holds a BSc Degree from Technical University of Istanbul in Petroleum Engineering, MSc Degree from The University of Alabama in petroleum engineering and also a PhD from Stanford University in Petroleum Engineering and Mathematics, and an MBA from University of Houston. Cenk Temizel is an energy professional with 20 years of experience. He worked at Saudi Aramco, Aera Energy LLC (a Shell-ExxonMobil Affiliate), Halliburton and Schlumberger in the Middle East, the US and the UK. Before joining the industry, he was a teaching/research assistant at the University of Southern California and Stanford University. He serves as a technical reviewer for petroleum engineering journals and a member of conference committees. He has published around 150 publications in reservoir management, production optimization, enhanced recovery processes, machine learning, intelligent fields, and holds several US patents. He is the recipient of the SPE Regional Reservoir Description and Dynamics Award. He holds a BS degree (Honors) from Middle East Technical University – Ankara (2003) and an MS degree (2005) from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, CA both in petroleum engineering. Ram R. Ratnakar is a Sr. Researcher, subject matter expert (SME), Technical authority (TA) 2, and PT-BMS auditor in Shell with 18+ years of research/work experience, and an Adjunct Faculty in Chemical Engineering department at University of Houston. He received his B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, India and Ph.D. from University of Houston, USA, both in Chemical Engineering. He holds 80+ technical articles, 6 patents, 5 books (2 upcoming) and 3 book chapters, and contributed significantly to the areas of multiscale modeling, reactive-transport, PVT and upstream processes, data analytics, and new energy technologies such as hydrogen, dense energy careers, carbon capture and utilization, electrification and Geothermal. He has served as Editor-in-chief of Upstream Oil & Gas Technology Journal and Associate Editor of Frontiers in Fuels. Currently, He is serving as a member of advisory committee of SPE’s Data Science and Engineering Analytics (DSEA), Reservoir Technical Discipline (RAC), Geothermal Energy, and Energy Transition, as well as a member of International Advisory committee of Indian Chemical Engineers (ICE) and Scientific committee of NASCRE.
