We proudly congratulate Mohamed Abdalla for winning 1st Place in the poster competition at the 2025 SPE-GCS Data Science Convention, held at the ExxonMobil Campus in Spring, Texas. His award-winning presentation, “Modeling CO₂ Dispersion From Injection Wells and Surface Facilities: Integrating PHAST Simulations and Deep Learning for Enhanced Emergency Response,” highlighted an innovative approach that combines over 6,700 PHAST simulations with machine learning to develop a computer application capable of instantly predicting the Potential Impact Radius (PIR) in the event of a CO₂ leak. This work marks a significant step toward enhancing safety and emergency preparedness in large-scale CCS operations.
