This one-day Suicide First Aid training course gives learners the knowledge and tools to understand that suicide is one of the most preventable deaths and some basic skills can help someone with thoughts of suicide stay safe from their thoughts and stay alive.

ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE This 3-days training will provide a comprehensive review of integrity of wells exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) in the context of Carbon Capture Utilization for enhanced oil recovery and Storage (CCUS). CO2 geological storage is a proven technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from sources such as coal power plants, cement kilns and steel mills. Wells are widely considered the most critical containment element, especially older wells that are not used to inject CO2 or monitor the plume evolution in the storage reservoir. The main reason for this perceived risk is the high corrosion rate of carbon steel when exposed to wet CO2, and the tendency of Portland cement to react with the gas. The training course advanced contents build on 15 years' experience in carbon storage, both in the development and deployment of technologies. First-hand, in-depth knowledge of the subject will allow us to debunk myths and focus on the real challenges of wells encountering CO2. Training Objectives After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to: * Explain the CCUS market drivers * Examine the behavior of CO2, on surface and in the reservoir * Diagnose cement defects and design repairs * Understand the limits of Portland cement * Assess the benefits of different technologies and materials * Realize why geology is a dominant factor in cement performance * Critically choose the most appropriate monitoring techniques * Classify aging processes of cement, steel, and rock when exposed to CO2 * Assess the risk of existing wells if they encounter the CO2 plume * Examine recent advances in real-time approaches to the production monitoring and lift management Target Audience This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit: * All surface technical personnel such as process engineers & technologists * Facility engineers, production engineers & technologists * Drilling engineers and Well engineers * Design engineers and Integrity engineers * P&A engineers and Cementing engineers * Geologists * Senior management executives will benefit from this training as covers an overview of the technical and commercial details of CO2 capture technologies and risks involved. Course Level * Intermediate Training Methods The training instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process.
