Upcoming SPE Webinar Series 2021

The Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) Energy Resources, Research and Technology (ERRT) Committee is partnering with the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) to produce a four-part webinar series. The third webinar will discuss CO2 storage management and the key technical challenges regulators face such as monitoring, modeling, sampling, and containment.

This webinar series will be geared towards the regulatory community. Each webinar will address one of this year's technical topics from ERRT's 2021 Knowledge Sharing Portal. Collectively, regulators identified four main topics as their 2021 key emerging issues of concern.

Webinar One explored cost-effective plugging technologies for abandoned wells. Webinar Two covered new technologies for flaring elimination and methane emissions measurement. If you missed it, the recording is available to view here!

**All four webinars will be free to IOGCC-member regulators thanks to the sponsorship of the Environmental Defense Fund and IOGCC. Regulators should contact Kaitlyn Smith at [email protected] to receive the complimentary registration code.

Members Only Portal - 2021 Knowledge Sharing Project

The 2021 Knowledge Sharing Project is now live! This portal aims to focus on providing technical support to state regulators through a knowledge sharing project. This project connects oil and gas regulators with relevant technical societies to facilitate transfer of technical information regarding regulators' key emerging issues of concern, with topics refreshed annually.

These resources include relevant technical articles, publications, and presentations, as well as a list of well-known and respected subject-matter experts (SMEs) who are willing to take emails and phone calls from regulators on their areas of expertise.
