SPE Journal has issued a call for papers for the 11th Comparative Solution Project (CSP) Special Issue. Organized by guest editors Anthony Kovscek (Stanford University) and Knut-Andreas Lie (SINTEF), this special issue will be accepting submissions that are both directly and indirectly related to the 11th CSP.
The project is motivated by the immense challenge of achieving geological carbon storage (GCS) at a scale that impacts significantly atmospheric emission of carbon dioxide. GCS is an important application area to which petroleum engineers are already contributing and that shall grow in relevance as the energy transition is embraced worldwide.
Safe and efficient implementation of GCS, and especially permitting, relies upon simulation of storage formation dynamics applied to uncertain geological data. Given the relative youth of GCS, field data for validation of storage formation simulation is relatively rare. Hence, the 11th SPE Comparative Solution Project has been proposed and is envisioned as a comprehensive, collaborative validation, and benchmarking exercise. All submitted papers will be subject to the standard SPE peer-review process.
A special session at the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday, 17 October, will be devoted to the 11th CSP with author recruitment for the SPE Journal special issue. Learn more about the project, special issue, and important dates for submissions.
