CSSR will advance subsurface research in seven scientific work packages (WP) organized into three focus areas.
- Subsurface Understanding (FA 1)
- Reservoir Management (FA 2)
- Local Net-Zero (FA 3)
Subsuface Understanding (FA 1)
Quantified metrics/criteria to improve reservoir appraisal under cyclical flow regimes on a field-specific basis
- Criteria for O&G reservoir performance and energy savings per reservoir type and expected variability in renewable energy
- Energy storage efficiency, injectivity, deliverability. Criteria for optimal selection of energy storage technology per field type
