Project Green Light

Making it safe to proceed with carbon utilization and storage

WHAT WE DO

The Green Light project is developing the world’s first CCS drilling engineering software.

Our objective is to enable safe drilling where a CO2 plume may infer with the well construction. This is a necessity for further upscaling and maturation of the global geological carbon storage ambitions.

WHY WE DO IT

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is identified as one of the most important actions for reaching the targets in the Paris Agreement. To play any significant part though, we will have to store most of the captured CO2 underground.

Hence there will be occurrences with drilling into CO2 while drilling near or within existing reservoir volumes containing CO2. Posing a risk for high concentration of carbon dioxide on the drill floor, during drilling.

A WORLD FIRST

Project Green Light, as the first in the world, has demonstrated how CO2 behaves differently than methane mixed with drilling fluids, and built these findings into well control software for CCS.

wellControlCCS has an integrated model for well control operations while drilling in or into CO2 reservoirs.
