The EAGE Student Fund is inviting all our student members from around the world to participate in the Minus CO2 Student Challenge. This competition aims to encourage innovation and environmental awareness amongst the next generation of geoscientists and engineers.
Enhance your scientific and technical knowledge
The world is changing – and the challenge of climate change is impacting the oil and gas business in many ways. As with other EAGE field challenges, we focus on a real field dataset bringing practical experience to help students with successful careers in applied geosciences. In the MINUS CO2 contest, we challenge teams to work with a dataset of a carbon sequestration project.
The Minus CO2 Challenge 2024 main topic will be ‘Geothermal Electrical Power Generation in the Netherlands’.
We invite university teams of three to five students to apply from 22 April to 6 July 2024 and take part in this innovative challenge, which has also received generous support from EAGE Green Fund.
Every team selected in the first round will receive a dataset to work with. They will have the opportunity to analyze the dataset and propose a project with zero-net C02 emissions.
Please find more information about this challenge here and complete the submission of the assignment.
If you have any further question, do not hesitate to contact us.

As with our other EAGE field challenges, we will focus on a real oilfield dataset that will provide practical experience that can help students develop successful careers in applied geosciences. In the Minus CO2 Student Challenge, we challenge teams to use a subsurface hydrocarbon resource but with zero net emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere. Any form of CO2 management may be used in association with the hydrocarbon resource model (eg. CO2 capture, CO2 storage, CO2 EOR or other renewable energy options).

Environmental Data Scientist Energy Transition and Environment at CGG
Co-chair Geothermal Energy Conference
Saba Keynejad received her Master’s degree in mineral exploration with a focus on geothermal exploration in 2012. She obtained her PhD from the University of Arizona in 2018, developing machine learning approaches for subsurface characterization. Since then, Saba has worked in the energy sector, contributing to projects in subsurface analysis and geothermal research. Currently, she applies her expertise to providing environmental solutions and advancing sustainable practices in energy, mining, and other major industries. Beyond technical work, Saba has been actively involved in leading conferences and webinars within her company and externally. She aims to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration through these events. Saba also participates in mentorship schemes focused on women of color in the energy and technology industry. As co-chair of EAGE GET2024, Saba brings a wealth of experience spanning academia, industry, and leadership. She looks forward to bringing together geothermal experts to drive the field forward through open dialogue and partnership. Saba is honored to help convene important discussions on the conference stage.

Co-chair Geothermal Energy Conference
Dr. Gehrig Schultz has been actively involved in using geophysics to solve geological and engineering problems since 1986. Dr. Schultz is currently COO for Geosciences at EPI Group where he leads a multidisciplinary team specialized in applying geophysics to geothermal energy, nuclear waste disposal, near surface engineering and hydrocarbons exploration and field redevelopment. He has worked both as a service provider and as a senior energy company executive. His experience spans growing former Romanian state owned geophysical and geological enterprise to become a highly respected international geophysical supplier with annual revenues of over € 100 million, rejuvenating a producing hydrocarbons field, starting a cased whole logging and well maintenance company, and technical leadership of several startup companies. Gehrig recently earned a PhD in Geophysics from the University of Bucharest and graduated with a BS in Geophysical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines.
