ASKER, NorwayKongsberg Digital and Computer Modelling Group (CMG) have introduced the CO2LINK simulator coupling software to support CO2 injection and storage processes.

This said to enable seamless modeling of the interaction between well and reservoir systems, which have traditionally been regarded as separate entities.

CO2LINK was developed under the GELECO2 joint industry project (JIP), a consortium of 12 energy companies supported by CLIMIT, Norway's national research program for carbon capture solutions.

The software integrated Kongsberg Digital's transient multiphase flow simulator, LedaFlow, with CMG's reservoir simulator, GEMTM.

For operators seeking to repurpose tail-end oil and gas reservoirs, the simulator coupling is designed to help them anticipate and manage potential bottlenecks and challenges as opposed to traditional methods that relied on spreadsheets to connect reservoir and pipeline simulations.
