**Energy Tech Company eDrilling Launches Well Control Software for Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage**
eDrilling, a leading energy technology company, has recently released its wellControl CCUS software, designed to address the unique risks associated with CO2 in infill drilling operations. This cutting-edge tool is part of the Green Light project, a collaborative R&D initiative involving prominent industry players, such as Equinor, Eni, Shell, Sintef, Noble, Transocean, Baker Hughes, Wild Well Control, EBN, and Gassnova.
The Green Light project focuses on developing a comprehensive drilling engineering software that ensures the safe and controlled drilling into underground storage sites. The partners in this project have addressed key knowledge gaps regarding CO2 kicks, uncontrolled blowouts, and cooling effects. The upgraded well control model incorporates detailed calculations of pressure, temperature, and flow rates for CO2 inflow and transportation to the topside. Crucially, the software accounts for the interactions between CO2 and drilling fluids in a well control scenario, providing an unparalleled level of safety and control.
One of the key advancements in the wellControl CCUS software is its cloud-native architecture, which allows for easy integration and leveraging of legacy or future systems and equipment. This decision to make the software cloud-native aims to democratize the technology, allowing operators to extract its value without being tied to a specific provider. This flexibility is increasingly sought after by operators and is a trend observed in various industries.
eDrilling is showcasing the wellControl CCUS software at booth 4212 during the ONS 2024 in Stavanger, inviting stakeholders to experience the latest advancements in well control technology for carbon capture utilization and storage. This innovative tool is poised to significantly enhance the safety and efficiency of drilling operations, contributing to the broader effort of achieving net zero ambitions.
