The IODP Expedition 396 Experience: Drilling and Sampling the Mid-Norwegian Continental Margin
Last year, NCCS PhD candidate joined the International Ocean Discovery Programme’s Expedition 396 to recover basalts. Now, he’s starting to characterise these basalts at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI).
Cement bond to rock and steel: the Achilles heel of well integrity
Portland cement is the most common material used in the construction and plugging of wells – however, cement bond to other materials is the weakest link in the well’s integrity. At the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS), new methods have been developed to measure bond strength, as well as evaluate them under more realistic field conditions.
Salt Precipitation Experiments for Improved CO2 Storage
Authors from NCCS: Pierre Cerasi, Jelena Todorovic, Martin Raphaug and Alv-Arne Grimstad. CO2 sequestration in the subsurface should be undertaken immediately and at…
TCCS-11: A Virtual Success
Since last year’s Longship funding announcement, global interest in CO2 capture, transport and storage (CCS) technologies has never been greater. As such, the…
