ARPA-E REMEDY Program Kickoff

 Event - Chicago, IL, USA

The ARPA-E REMEDY program seeks to develop technologies that reduce methane emissions from three sources in the oil, gas, and coal value chain. The goal is to reverse the rate of accumulation of methane in the atmosphere, decrease atmospheric methane concentration, and thus ameliorate climate change.

A Review of Vibrating Wire Piezometer Usage in Ultra-Low Permeability and Heterogenous Fractured Rock Environments

 Event - Tucson, USA

This presentations proposes that conventional groundwater flow theory cannot explain the full range of VWP responses observed in low permeability environments. The impact of poroelasticity is likely to be greatest in the period immediately after a stress change when rapid increases and decreases in pore pressure may occur as the 3D stress field equilibrates. In the medium term, the poroelastic effects may lead to a faster rate of depressurisation in a low permeability formation.
