Speed of Sound measurements for CCS – Let’s hear it!
In 2024, Research Scientist Yessica Arellano (SINTEF Energy Research) spent a month in South Kensington, visiting the Imperial College of London (ICL). Hosted by Professor Martin Trusler, Yessica had the opportunity to calibrate and run experiments with one of their speed of sound cells. The visit was conducted through the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS) Mobility Programme.
Studying Salt Structures in Australia to Enable CO₂ Storage in Norway
Siân Evans is a postdoc with the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS) at the Department of Geosciences at the University of Oslo. In September 2023, she travelled to South Australia through the NCCS Mobility Programme to study exposed onshore salt structures as part of the effort to enable long-term subsurface CO₂ storage.
As above, so below: studying above-ground rock masses to better understand underground fractures
In 2023, Senior Research Scientist Pierre Cerasi (SINTEF Industry) spent a month in Argentina, at the invitation of the Y-TEC Research Centre. The aim of the stay was to study above-ground rock masses as a way of exploring how fractures form and spread underground. An improved understanding of fracture networks can result in an improved selection of CO2 storage locations and contribute to mitigating leakage risk.

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).
