	abstract = {Our industry is experiencing significant changes due to AI and the challenges of the energy transition. While some view these changes as threats, recent advances in AI offer unique opportunities, especially in the context of Digital Twins for subsurface monitoring and control. IBM defines "A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or system that spans its lifecycle, is updated from real-time data, and uses simulation, machine learning and reasoning to help decision-making." During this talk, I will explore these concepts and their significance in addressing the challenges of monitoring \& control of geological CO2 storage projects. This talk also aims to illustrate how Digital Twins can serve as a platform to integrate the seemingly disparate and siloed fields of geophysics and reservoir engineering.},

	abstract = {As a society, we are faced with important challenges to combat climate change. Geological Carbon Storage, during which gigatonnes of super-critical CO2 are stored underground, is arguably the only scalable net-negative CO2-emission technology that is available. Recent advances in generative AI offer unique opportunities{\textemdash}especially in the context of Digital Twins for subsurface CO2-storage monitoring, decision making, and control{\textemdash}to help scale this technology, optimize its operations, lower its costs, and reduce its risks, so assurances can be made whether storage projects proceed as expected and whether CO2 remains underground. During this talk, it is shown how techniques from Simulation-Based Inference and Ensemble Bayesian Filtering can be extended to establish probabilistic baselines and assimilate multimodal data for problems challenged by large degrees of freedom, nonlinear multiphysics, and computationally expensive to evaluate simulations. Key concepts that will be reviewed include neural Wave-Based Inference with Amortized Uncertainty Quantification and physics-based Summary Statistics, Ensemble Bayesian Filtering with Conditional Neural Networks, and learned multiphysics inversion with Differentiable Programming.},

	month = {10},
	abstract = {As the global deployment of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology intensifies in the fight against climate change, it becomes increasingly imperative to establish robust monitoring and detection mechanisms for potential underground CO$_2$ leakage, particularly through pre-existing or induced faults in the storage reservoir{\textquoteright}s seals. While techniques such as history matching and time-lapse seismic monitoring of CO$_2$ storage have been used successfully in tracking the evolution of CO$_2$ plumes in the subsurface, these methods lack principled approaches to characterize uncertainties related to the CO$_2$ plumes{\textquoteright} behavior. Inclusion of systematic assessment of uncertainties is essential for risk mitigation for the following reasons: (i) CO$_2$ plume-induced changes are small and seismic data is noisy; (ii) changes between regular and irregular (e.g., caused by leakage) flow patterns are small; and (iii) the reservoir properties that control the flow are strongly heterogeneous and typically only available as distributions. To arrive at a formulation capable of inferring flow patterns for regular and irregular flow from well and seismic data, the performance of conditional normalizing flow will be analyzed on a series of carefully designed numerical experiments. While the inferences presented are preliminary in the context of an early CO$_2$ leakage detection system, the results do indicate that inferences with conditional normalizing flows can produce high-fidelity estimates for CO$_2$ plumes with or without leakage. We are also confident that the inferred uncertainty is reasonable because it correlates well with the observed errors. This uncertainty stems from noise in the seismic data and from the lack of precise knowledge of the reservoir{\textquoteright}s fluid flow properties.},
