The WGC2022 Innovations Awards were launched in 2018, celebrating the next major innovations in gas industry technology. We received over 150 applications for the WGC2022 Innovation Awards and after careful consideration we are delighted to announce the winners of the 5 categories below.
Each category award winner prepared a 5-7 minute presentation or live demonstration at the dedicated Awards Ceremony session to showcase their innovations which took place at the Technology & Innovation Center on the exhibition floor.

PAPER TITLE – INTEGRATED SUBSURFACE STUDIES WITH SEISMIC ATTRIBUTE ANALYSES OF CCS FIELD CASE STUDY
The seismic attribute analysis as part of integrated subsurface studies are the input of seal and reservoir characterization which will be used for final coupled geomechanics-dynamic-geochemical modelling to get final CO2 storage capacity. This seismic attribute analysis could enhance the seismic characteristics to get better understanding in terms of seal and faults analysis. In developing the depleted hydrocarbon (HC) fields as storage site, The studies on the depletion rock formation, caprock integrity, fracture pressure limit, fault reactivation, pore collapse, reservoir compaction-subsidence are required. Based on the result, this storage field has sufficient storage capacity for injection more than 20 years.
IGU Global Gas Awards 2022
The IGU Global Gas Award was established in 2008 with the objective to contribute toward the progress of the gas industry by promoting innovation and sustainability.
The theme for the IGU Global Gas Award is “The Role of Natural Gas in Powering More Sustainable Energy Futures”.
The best project was selected by the IGU Judging Panel, demonstrating an understanding of the in-depth challenges faced in the energy sector. It provides insight, innovation and pragmatic approaches that demonstrate how the greater adoption of natural gas can deliver positive societal benefits by overcoming these challenges.
Congratulations to Davide Scrocchi of Snam on winning the IGU Global Gas Award!
