CCSNet web app: a deep learning modeling suite for CO2 storage
Stanford researchers in the Benson Lab have developed CCSNet, an open source software platform for modeling CO2 storage reservoirs based on machine learning neural networks. As compared to current standards, this software is 10,000 to 100,000 times faster and more accurate.
Traditional simulators for carbon geological storage are computationally expensive and time consuming. Trained with a large numerical simulation data set, CCSNet provides numerous outputs for carbon dioxide storage projects including but not limited to CO2 gas saturation, pressure buildup, and mass balance.
