Record participation in the SPE11 benchmark
The deadline for submitting participation agreements to the 11th Society of Petroleum Engineers Comparative Solution Project (the “SPE11”) has just passed, and as of writing 44 research groups from around the world have joined!
Main content
The 11th comparative solution project consists of three Benchmark datasets which are motivated by the simulation challenges associated with CO2 storage operations in geological settings of realistic complexity. Professor J. M. Nordbotten is a PI in the VISTA Center for Modeling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics (CSD), and the lead organizer of the study. When asked to comment on the participation number and the future progress of the SPE11, he answers:
"We are extremely honored to see the response our SPE11 description has received in the community, and are thankful to all the research groups that have chosen to prioritize time and resources to participate in the study. 44 participating groups is beyond any of our expectations, and is by far a record for any SPE comparative solution project, and promises to make the SPE11 a milestone within computational simulation of geological carbon storage.”
