Visualizing Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration

Global demand for new energy sources is quickly growing, and accelerating the deployment of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) technology is one renewable energy option. Capturing, storing, and using carbon is not a new process, but by creating innovative technology, companies can advance the progress and economic development of developing new energy sources and meeting the goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2050.

“The world will fail to halve emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) by 2050 without the deployment of technology to capture and store the emissions spewed out from fossil-fuel burning power plants.”
—Stavros Dimas, EU Commissioner for the Environment, 2008.

Developing Innovative CCUS Technology Solutions

As developers build new applications to manage each CCUS lifecycle phase, INT provides the visualization technology to empower geoscientists, drillers, and operators with the right visualizations to make key decisions.

INT’s advanced visualization libraries (GeoToolkit) display required views for geoscientists and operators—from temperature levels, pressure, flow, 3D reservoir, and well models, and more—to monitor each step in the CCUS lifecycle, from capture and compression to storage. GeoToolkit’s flexibility means a smoother transition to new energy software applications in a fraction of the time.

How Does CCUS Work?

The first step is to trap and separate the CO₂ from other gases, either from power stations, industrial facilities, or even directly from the air.

Then this captured CO₂ is transported to a storage location, and that’s typically via pipeline or ship.

The captured carbon is then either used or stored underground either onshore or offshore.

Adding Visualization to Your CCUS Application

Augment your visualization with customizable, domain-specific libraries with GeoToolkit or leverage IVAAP, INT’s industry-leading domain visualization platform.

INT offers two options to choose from:

GeoToolkit

HTML5 libraries and toolkit for geoscience data visualization

Features

Key visualization library: display well logs, seismic 2D/3D, heatmap, wellbore schematics
Build a visualization platform or incorporate domain visuals into existing applications
Works with Front-end Subsurface technology
Leverage APIs with libraries and SDK to customize visuals
More than 160 tutorials
Available in JavaScript, Angular, and React

Why Choose GeoToolkit?

Developers can:

Build subsurface exploration, petrophysical analysis, or data management applications with single or multi-well displays.
Embed visualization into an existing application.
Provide visualization 10x faster than building from scratch.

IVAAP

Comprehensive data visualization platform for the cloud

Features

All of the features of GeoToolkit, PLUS
Data source connectors to access data without moving it
Front-end client with dashboards, templates, and search capabilities
Back-end SDK extensible to add standard or custom connectors
Standard connectors to cloud providers: AWS, Azure, IBM, GCP
Standard connectors to OSDU, PPDM, WITSML

Why Choose IVAAP?

No need to rebuild all data source connectors and the front-end client UI from scratch
Can focus on the workflow aspect of the application versus the visualization using out-of-the-box capabilities
Data aggregation and co-visualization in one dashboard without moving data
Build faster, deliver cheaper your application (less code to create)
