Who Should Enroll

This program is aimed at subsurface oil and gas professionals and first-level leaders who would like to develop their skills for use in the energy transition, specifically in the emerging industry of carbon capture and geologic storage (CCS), such as:

• Geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers and other technical subsurface O&G professionals
• First-level leaders and others tasked with developing and/or assuring geologic storage for CCS projects
• Recent graduates in petroleum geoscience and reservoir engineering

Lead Faculty: Dr. Alex Bump

Research Science Associate, Gulf Coast Carbon Center, Bureau of Economic Geology, University of Texas at Austin

Alex Bump, Ph.D., is a geologist with broad experience in both CCUS and in the petroleum industry. He held a variety of exploration roles over 16 years with BP, including Advisor in Structural Geology and Head of Discipline for Exploration Structure and Tectonics. He has worked over 50 basins on 5 continents and taught courses in exploration and structural geology to hundreds of geoscientists in BP and partner companies and universities.

Since joining the Gulf Coast Carbon Center in 2019, Bump has focused on adapting petroleum exploration workflows to defining, screening and de-risking storage sites for CO2. He has authored reports on site screening for IEAGHG and multi-national companies and is currently leading work on subsurface containment risk assessment and mitigation.
