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.

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. Birol is an honorary member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), serves as an editor-in-chief of SPE Journal, and in the past served as an editor-in-chief of Elsevier’s Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering and Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering. Birol previously worked at Shell for 23 years as a chief scientist of reservoir physics, one of seven allotted in the company.
Cenk Temizel is a Sr. Reservoir Engineer with Saudi Aramco. Previously, he was a reservoir engineer at Aera Energy LLC (a Shell-ExxonMobil Affiliate) in Bakersfield, California, USA. He has around 15 years of experience in the industry working on reservoir simulation, smart fields, heavy oil, optimization, geomechanics, integrated asset modeling, unconventionals, field development and enhanced oil recovery with Schlumberger and Halliburton in the Middle East, the US and the UK. He was a teaching/research assistant at the University of Southern California and Stanford University before joining the industry. He serves as a technical reviewer for petroleum engineering journals. He has published around 100 publications in the area of reservoir management, production optimization, enhanced oil recovery processes, data driven methods, machine learning and smart fields along with US patents. He holds a BS degree (Honors) from Middle East Technical University – Ankara (2003) and an MS degree (2005) from University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, CA both in petroleum engineering.Ram Ratnakar is currently a Senior Researcher in computational chemistry and material science at Shell, developing energy transition models supporting hydrogen storage, electrification, and carbon capture. He is also the co-Editor in Chief for Elsevier’s Upstream Oil and Gas Technology Journal. He was previously a reservoir engineer at Shell and research assistant at the University of Houston. Ram has published more than 50 articles and earned 4 patents. He earned his PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Houston, and a B.Tech in chemical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology.
