Partners support eDrilling's R&D of well control software for CCS

Offshore staff

STAVANGER, Norway — eDrilling is leading a project to develop software that would provide secure well control for drilling into CO₂ storage reservoirs, as a CO₂ plume might interfere with well construction.

According to the company, full-scale CO₂ storage requires comprehensive analysis and knowledge of reservoir and formation to eliminate risks for leakage underground. Well control technology for carbon capture and storage addresses these risks for safe and controlled infill drilling in mature CO₂ storage.

Partners in the project include Equinor, Shell, Gassnova, EBN, Baker Hughes, Wild Well Control and Transocean.
