Earth Science Analytics announce collaboration with Horisont Energi

Written by Earth Science Analytics | 25 Aug 2022

Earth Science Analytics today announced that it has entered a strategic collaboration with Horisont Energi, a carbon transport and storage services provider, to utilise the EarthNET technology to characterise and de-risk a carbon storage site in 3D.

Due to the sparse amount of data available over suggested storage sites, it is challenging to accurately assess the physical rock and fluid properties of candidate reservoirs, which significantly impact the safe operation of carbon storage sites.

 

On behalf of Horisont Energi, Earth Science Analytics used its extensive domain expertise and EarthNET technology to produce 3D volumes of elastic and reservoir properties of a challenging sandstone reservoir in the Barents sea that has been recently awarded as a CCS site for permanently storing CO₂. The project partnership for the license consists, among others, of Horisont Energi and Equinor.

 

“By utilising ESA’s deep domain expertise in both geoscience and deep learning technology, we were able to augment a sparse dataset over the area of interest with additional relevant geological data. With its EarthNET technology, ESA captured regional trends in geology, quantified the full range of uncertainty within acoustic and physical properties, and provided a data-driven model that challenges underlying assumptions within traditional workflows. “

- Morten Sola, Chief Project Officer CSS at Horisont Energi

 

ESA’s machine learning capabilities reduce interpretation cycle time and allow more time to be spent on risk assessment and management. Using the EarthNET technology saves time, improves results, and enables working on a previously unfeasible scale. As a result, the operator and partners can now spend more time on fully understanding the potential challenges this storage site may pose.
