The final description of the 11th Society of Petroleum Engineers Comparative Solution Project (11th CSP) was unveiled on October 16 at the SPE Annual Technical Conference and exhibition. The 11th CSP was proposed to advance solutions to the challenge of simulating large-scale carbon dioxide storage operations in geological settings. CSP’s provide a means for the flow in porous media community to compare numerical simulator performance on challenging and up to date problems in a collaborative fashion. The call for participation in the 11th CSP is open through December 1, 2023.
The 11th CSP was prepared and coordinated by Jan M. Nordbotten, Martin Fernø, University of Bergen; Anthony R. Kovscek, Stanford University Center for Carbon Storage (SCCS); Knut-Andreas Lie, SINTEF and Bernd Flemisch, University of Stuttgart.
The 11th CSP contains three versions. Version 11A is a 2D geometry at the laboratory scale, inspired by a recent CO2 storage forecasting and validation study. For Version 11B, the 2D geometry and operational conditions from 11A are rescaled to field conditions characteristic of the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Version 11C is a three-dimensional field scale model based on 11B. More information is available at https://www.spe.org/en/csp/ and the full description of the project is found here.
