Paper: PERMIAN CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE (CCS) CENTER

The Permian CCS Center (http://www.permianbasinccs.org/) was formed in 2009 to provide world class technology transfer, training, and Carbon Capture and Storage (and CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery) expertise. It is one of seven regional organization funded by the DOE through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 for a three year period. The mission of the Permian CCS Center is to impart the needed skill sets to realize CCS Opportunities. The deliverable is "World Class CCS Training for and by Industry Professionals." While the focus is
the Permian basin, the information developed is applicable and available worldwide. The recipients and beneficiaries of the training include not just oil and gas professionals potentially engaged in CCS and CO2 EOR, but the entire community of professionals engaged in some aspect of CCS, including the power generation industry, regulators, environmentalists, legislators, scientists and academics.
