Eliis Joins Norwegian Polytechnic Society to Advance Geoscience Innovation in CCS

Publisert: 20. november 2024

Eliis, a leading innovator in seismic interpretation technology, is pleased to announce its membership in the Norwegian Polytechnic Society (Polyteknisk Forening), a multidisciplinary, knowledge-based membership network organization for sustainable technological and social development. This partnership underlines Eliis’ dedication to fostering technological advancements that support the development of carbon storage and sustainable subsurface exploration.

«We recognize that the absolute priority is to limit greenhouse gas emissions,» says Benoît Matha, CEO of Eliis. «While decarbonizing operations is essential, we also know that CO₂ emitted today will remain in the atmosphere for decades to centuries. That is why CCS must be part of the equation if we’re to reach the Net-Zero goals set at COP21. By joining the Norwegian Polytechnic Society, we aim to actively contribute to this pivotal cause, collaborating with industry experts to drive forward the technological solutions necessary for a sustainable future.”

Additionally, Eliis is proud to announce that Pierre Le Guern, VP of Customer Success has been invited to join as a Director of the Board of the Norwegian CCUS Association, an opportunity and honour he was delighted to accept.

“The Norwegian Polytechnic Society, including the CCUS Association, is very pleased to welcome Eliis on board the ambitious pathway to mitigate and combat climate change,” says Mette Vågnes Eriksen, the Secretary General of the Norwegian Polytechnic Society. ”Eliis demonstrates technological excellence combined with entrepreneurial skills, and I’m especially inspired by their vision. Eliis, headquartered in France with a growing team in Stavanger, will strengthen the true polytechnic spirit with partners across the value chain for CCUS. We are also looking forward to harvesting the fruits of our French-Norwegian MoU in both countries.”

With its flagship PaleoScan™ software, Eliis empowers geoscientists to interpret complex seismic data with greater precision – an essential capability in the identification, characterization and management of safe carbon storage reservoirs. By integrating advanced AI-driven geophysical solutions, coupled with its patented, time-saving RGT (Relative Geological Time) technology, Eliis is committed to actively participating in collaboration on the transition to cleaner energy and addressing climate challenges.

Through this partnership, Eliis aims to share its technical expertise and engage with Norway’s pioneers across industries, working together to unlock deeper geological insights and help shape a more sustainable future.

«We are eager to continue promoting the rapid rollout of CCUS-technologies to scale this needed climate solution globally, and it’s a pleasure to welcome Pierre Le Guern as Director of the Board», says Imran Abdul-Majid, Chair of the Norwegian CCUS Association. He adds; «the knowledge site is updated with content (mostly in Norwegian) on a running basis: Karbonfangst og -lagring.
