Åpne og reproduserbare simuleringer av CO₂ injeksjon på Sleipner

The flow simulator has previously been used for simulation studies related to CO₂ injection on the Johansen formation, Smeaheia and an earlier version of the Sleipner model. Access to new data from Sleipner, including seismic, enables further verification of the simulator as well as the underlying models used in the simulator.

The flow simulator is developed as part of OPM which is an open framework for simulation tools. Open source code enables close collaboration between industry, research institutions and academia. Expensive licenses for commercial products complicate simulation studies with multiple realizations. Ensemble studies for history adaptation and uncertainty quantification are already standard in the industry and are important for providing a robust decision basis for CO₂ injection.

The project’s goal is to conduct an open and reproducible simulation study on the Sleipner model with a full 3D model where uncertainty is represented.
