Reservoir Laboratory
The Reservoir laboratory provides methods and equipment for performing experiments at reservoir and production conditions.
Projects
Big Pressure - Hybrid modelling with machine learning for overpressure and mud weight prediction
Unexpected high overpressures in the subsurface are still a challenge on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, even after decades of oil and gas exploration and production.
CCUS ZEN - Zero Emisson Network
The CCUS ZEN mission is to contribute to the accelerated deployment of CCUS throughout Europe by enabling mutual, continuous learning between different stakeholder types and between European regions, drawing on learnings from ongoing and past...
LINCCS: Carbon Links
Carbon Links (LINCCS) - Linking large-scale, cost-effective, permanent offshore storage across the value chain.
LowEmission Research Centre
The LowEmission Research Centre will develop new technologies and concepts for offshore energy systems, energy efficiency and integration with renewable power production technologies for application on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
NCCS
NCCS will help Norway meet its obligations under the Paris Climate Agreement.

Software
Organic facies prediction (OF-Mod)
OF-Mod simulates the deposition and preservation of organic carbon on a basin scale. It can be applied to both modern and ancient siliciclastic marine environments.
Palaeo-water depth reconstruction (SEMI PWD)
The SEMI Palaeo-Water Depth (PWD) module provides high resolution 3D palaeo-bathymetries for sedimentary basins. The method is based on present day stratigraphic depth maps as the main criterion for the PWD reconstruction. During the work-flow...
PRESSEIS
The novel approach to pressure prediction is combining interpretation of seismic data with basin modeling techniques in order to properly assess the relevant mechanisms contributing to overpressure build-up.
