On November 16th, five students from IFP School's 2020 class won the global Minus CO2 Student Challenge, organized by the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE).
The "Carbonitos" team, made up of Johana Nevito Páez (PGS*, Colombia), Fernanda Campos Furtado (PGS, Brazil), Fatin Farzana Binte Miswan (PGS, Singapore), Carla Oliveira dos Santos (RGE**, Brazil) and Augusto Correnti (RGE, Argentina), analyzed subsurface data from the Norne oil field provided by Equinor and designed an economically viable CO2-neutral field development plan.
Christian Pauchon, lecturer at the IFP School Georesources and Energy Center, supervised the team throughout the competition. The students were also supported by Jean-Pierre Deflandre, lecturer-researcher and co-holder of the "Carbon management and negative CO2 emissions technologies towards a low carbon future" Chair, Carla Castillo, Supervisor of the Reservoir Geoscience and Engineering program and Olivier Lerat, Supervisor of the Petroleum Geosciences program.
IFP School congratulates them for such recognition!
