SINTEF combines theoretical work with laboratory experiments and field experience, and focuses on making results from the work available for operational team, in order to contribute to faster, safer and cheaper drilling and well operations while also...
SINTEF verifIES scientifically the validity of selected concepts and emerging plug and abandonment (P&A) technologies.
Production from new fields faces steadily more demanding conditions: deeper water, greater distances to existing infrastructure, and harsh environments. Existing fields also have complex challenges, including rising water cut and falling pressure...
Applying geological, geophysical expertise and developing our in-house software we can model all elements of a petroleum prospect (from source rock, expulsion, migration, and trap, seal or cap rock). This can be used to evaluate and minimize...
About half of the oil in known North Sea fields has been produced and finding more is becoming increasingly difficult. A good alternative is to find means of extracting the remaining known oil, i.e. Enhanced Oil Recovery. SINTEF's research in this...
SINTEF was among the first to propose underground CO2 storage for climate change mitigation, and has carried out research on the behaviour of CO2 in the subsurface and the ways that the subsurface responds to CO2 injection for more than 30 years...
