澳门玄机图 team joins industry collaboration to enhance CCS understanding
澳门玄机图鈥� Reservoir Engineering group is taking part in an industry-wide exercise coordinated by The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). Learnings could contribute to the uptake and detailed design of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), seen as a key tool in the energy transition.

We join more than 40 teams contributing to SPE鈥檚鈥� 11th , which aims to increase our understanding of the subsurface behaviour of carbon dioxide. During 2024, each team is running simulation models with a goal of creating a reference baseline model for the geological storage of carbon dioxide, which can be used for future study.
CCS works by capturing CO2 emissions from industry and injecting the processed CO2 into deep geological formations. To better understand and enable the safe storage of carbon dioxide in perpetuity, the industry needs effective, reliable reservoir modelling and simulation. However, long-term carbon storage data on which to base simulations is scarce. The SPE project aims to develop a baseline of reference simulations, realistically re-creating some of the geological and operational challenges associated with carbon dioxide storage in natural geological settings, such as saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas reservoirs.
During this project, 澳门玄机图 will use tNavigator software provided by to support our geological carbon storage modelling research. By combining 澳门玄机图鈥� technical understanding with software functionality tailored for CCS, we aim to gain insights into the complex behaviour and movement of related fluids as carbon is stored underground, and experience in modelling these behaviours for our clients鈥� projects.
