“We have got a number of our employees after graduation from what is now CERE. We see CERE as having a good awareness of the practical aspects of their work. I see this as positive for our part. CERE is good at spotting trends in industry needs and converting this input into projects with useful applications”, says R&D Manager Henrik Sørensen.
Currently the perspective of using CPA (Cubic Plus Association) as a supplement to the classical cubic equations of state has Calsep’s particular focus. The CERE faculty has contributed strongly to the development of CPA.
“We see much interest in CPA from our clients, but for the oil industry there is a large step from showing interest in a new model to actually making use of it. Often our clients will prefer to live with the known uncertainty of a traditional model rather than relying on a new and theoretically better model, which has not yet been thoroughly tested on the oil and gas application area. Our clients make huge investments based on the correctness of modeling results and they have very high validation demands. This is one of the fields where we contribute,” says Henrik Sørensen.
