Drone Laboratory
SINTEF Drone Laboratory is an arena for development of drone hardware and software.
Applied Geoscience
Applying geological, geophysical expertise and developing our in-house software we can model all elements of a petroleum prospect (from source rock, expulsion, migration, and trap, seal or cap rock). This can be used to evaluate and minimize uncertainties in exploration, development and production risk.

Technology that could multiply geothermal output fivefold
Far below the earth’s surface is an energy source with huge and perpetual potential: geothermal heat. But the forces in its scorching and inhospitable depths must be tamed. Now scientists know what that will take.
The summer that changed Norway’s climate policy
He’s been called the father of carbon capture and storage in Norway – but Erik Lindeberg isn’t resting on his laurels. At 76, he’s still crusading to make sure this technology is put to use as quickly and comprehensively as possible, to help the...
In the race for large-scale CO2 storage, will Norway be the hare or the tortoise?
Higher expectations for CO2 capture and storage require more research on safe and cost-effective large-scale storage methods. At the Svelvik CO2 Field Lab, industry and researchers can test technology for monitoring CO2 storage in wells.

GEOSYN - Geothermal Synergy
The project improves industrial energy efficiency by integrating geothermal energy with high-temperature heat pumps and heat-driven cooling systems, ensuring environmental sustainability and operational flexibility.
TeSCAL – Testing the foundations of special core analysis
Increased understanding of wetting processes in oil reservoirs is crucial for optimising operational decisions in oil recovery.
AMBIOS – Autonomous Marine Biodiversity Mapping and Bioprospecting Platform
The collaborative project AMBIOS aims to develop the world's first fully autonomous platform for multi-layer mapping of biodiversity in the marine space and validate it on selected use cases in Mid-Norway.
