The collaboration between BatiGea Ltd and the University of Aberdeen is starting to bear its fruits. The dissertation on the MEng on Petroleum Engineering, entitled “Developing an Algorithm for Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Injectivity in Subsurface Geological Media” was submitted last week. The project was delivered by Ciprian Panaitescu, from the School of Engineering of the University of Aberdeen, under the guidance of Dr Amin Sharifi, from the same institute. BatiGea Ltd supervised the development of an articulated workflow incorporating geochemical and geomechanical aspects of CO2 injection in a depleted North Sea reservoir. The project used different software for the geochemical and geomechanical characterization and it used true geological data from Equinor’s Volve Field released dataset. The novel workflow implemented with the project constitutes a valuable assurance tool for the long-term CO2 injection and storage in porous rocks. The potential for its application to depleted North Sea reservoirs is huge and BatiGea Ltd will support further developments and applications of this integrated workflow. Finally, BatiGea wants to thank academics and students of the University of Aberdeen for keeping on delivering amazing research results during such challenging times.
