FrontSim is a three-phase, 3D simulator that models multiphase flow of fluids along streamlines. Multiscale-Streamline Simulation of Highly Heterogeneous and Fractured Reservoirs In the near future, Schlumberger Information Solutions will enhance the Petrel Workflow Tool to include fracture modeling. This...
Working from home or from a cabin has become quite common. But how can IT developers and other teams collaborate most effectively when their workdays are not tied to a single location? That’s the question a research team from SINTEF has explored post-pandemic. For highly specialized workers, there’s...
...vaccines may offer us more targeted and less harmful lung cancer treatments. Stock photo: Shutterstock Standard In Norway, more than 3,300 people contract lung cancer every year. It is the second most common form of cancer among both women and men, after breast and prostate cancer, respectively. It also...
They are lightweight, strong, and resistant to corrosion and decay. In the future, bridges in Norway could be made of fibre-reinforced plastic elements, which extend their lifespans and reduce life cycle costs. It is a familiar scenario: An old concrete bridge with narrow pavements has to be widened...
Contact Project Coordinator of DemoCLOCK, Shahriar Amini A project funded by the European Union and led by SINTEF in Norway with ten other European partners aims to demonstrate a cost-effective CO2 capture technology that could herald a new generation of power-generation plants with integrated CO2 capture...
A longer life for transformers will lower the environmental footprint and reduce the use of resources, according to the authors. Photo: Helge Sunde/Samfoto/NTB Viewpoints This op-ed on how upgraded paper in transformers can deliver major benefits was first published in Norwegian in Dagens Næringsliv...
...transport solver consists of the following steps: choose a set of seed points trace streamlines from seed points backwards to injectors and forwards to producers map saturations and properties from the grid to the streamlines solve one-dimensional transport equation along streamlines map resulting saturation...
Cusk is traditionally used for the production of dry stockfish and salted fish. A new project is looking into whether it can be offered to consumers as fillets. Photo: Solveig Uglem/SINTEF Standard “Cusk makes for a delicious fish dinner”, says SINTEF researcher Guro Møen Tveit. “Our study shows that...
...photo: RossHelen/Shutterstock Viewpoints Again and again we hear the same appeal – calling out loud and clear in a number of feature articles: “If we don’t train more realists to provide us with more technology, the green transition will exhaust itself and the health services crumble in the face of an...
...seasonal changes. Authors: Mark Mulrooney, Postdoc NCCS and Peter Betlem, PhD NCCS NCCS researchers are now studying Svalbard's subsurface and outcrops to gain important integrity data that will help to successfully deliver carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS), a critical climate change mitigation...
...can be combined with standard Si/glass and polymer processes for enhanced functionality. The combined technologies often involve materials not used in the standard processes. Such mixing of the available microBUILDER technologies allows for improved functionality and higher performance of a variety of new...
...that researchers want to know what climate change and a warming ocean might do to these tiny floating oxygen factories, especially since they serve as the basis of marine food webs and thus support the production of zooplankton and fish. But counting and identifying plankton is incredibly hard. It’s like...
When a PC user changes his location, his environment also changes and problems often arise. However, with the aid of the appropriate software the computer’s software can be modified automatically to match the changed situation. Most of us who have sat on a train using a PC have experienced low battery...
A wood fibre only 100 nanometres thick will help to give us tomorrow’s plastic food packaging, if SINTEF and its partners are successful. Cellulose can be broken down into what is called microfibrillated cellulose. MFC consists of plant fibres that are only 100 nanometres in diameter, but can be extremely...
...gate in Oslo is buzzing. It’s not a buzz of voices, but comes from a machine in the corner – and a backup close by. It’s the sound of problems being solved. Bus drivers often have inflexible shift arrangements and unpractical plans. SINTEF created a new arrangement for the Nordic bus company Nobina whereby...

The President of SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, Karl Andreas Almås, crouches over his laptop, opens one of his presentations and finds an illustration. It shows one red curve and one blue. He then indicates the point where they meet each other, then frowns and says the message he cannot repeat often...
...open scientific questions about how a widespread and long-established chemical substance -ammonia- may help the shipping industry to become climate-friendly. It is becoming increasingly evident that ammonia has the potential to be a very convenient and viable alternative fuel for use across a range of...
SINTEF/NTNU This new means of delivering drugs has already been successfully tested on mice and rats and, according to researchers at SINTEF, could open the way for entirely new treatments of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. SINTEF researchers have developed a new nanocapsule that exploits the...
