Registration Information
The Ninth International Acid Gas Injection Symposium (AGIS IX) will be held in the Conference Hallat the Ramada Plaza Downtown Calgary from 23rd to 25th May 2023.
SYMPOSIUM TOPICSAGIS IX will discuss all processes related to the injection of acid gases – AGI, CO2 EOR, rich gas
injection EOR, CCS and CCUS. All of these processes share common aspects and there are synergies thatcan be exploited from the more mature processes (EOR) to the emerging processes (CCS and CCUS).
I. Fundamentals

II. Operations

III. Disciplines

1. Phase Equilibrium: solubility, watercontent, vapor-liquid equilibrium,
hydrates
2. Properties: density, viscosity
3. Corrosion: material selection,monitoring
4. Reservoir Properties: modelling, rockmechanics
5. Health, Safety, Environment (HSE):
emergency planning

1. Wells: completions, flow
2. Processing: sweetening, carbon capture,dehydration
3. Compression
4. Pumping
5. Pipelines
6. Case Studies
7. Troubleshooting

1. Petroleum Engineering: reservoirmodeling, drilling, completions
2. Process Engineering: processmodelling, optimization
3. Mechanical Engineering
4. Geology
5. Chemistry and Geochemistry
6. Physics and Geophysics
