eDrilling: in Project Initiative for Applying Well Control Software to CCS Wells

Full-scale CO2 storage demands comprehensive analysis and know-how on reservoir and formation to eliminate risks for leakage from the underground. However, it is less recognized that CO2 storage, like drilling for petroleum production, also represents a risk in terms of accident potential related to “blow-out” during drilling and considerable loss of acceptance in the society for the storage of CO2 in the underground.

Through collaboration, a project has been established with operators, service providers, drilling contractors, SINTEF, and eDrilling to address and close the knowledge gap between petroleum wells and CO2 wells. Read More.
