Current Carbon Capture News: Journal of Petroleum Technology
SLB Selected as Strategic Reservoir Partner for North Sea Carbon Storage Project
29 August 2026
Integrated engineering work from SLB aims to support development of the large-scale Havstjerne carbon storage project ahead of a final investment decision.
A Sub-Grid Model for Convective Mixing Applied to the 11th SPE Comparative Solution Project
18 August 2026
Modeling solubility trapping at reservoir scale remains a key challenge for carbon storage projects. This study introduces a novel sub-grid convective mixing model, implemented in the Open Porous Media Flow simulator and applied to the SPE11 benchmark, that enables accurate prediction of carbon dioxide dissolution trapping in geological storage using computationally efficient coarse-grid simulations.
