Ruden Geo Services partner of SINTEF CO2 Field Lab





At the Svelvik ridge, south of Oslo, a CO2 field laboratory has been established, to enable the creation of a well-monitored and a well-characterized geological environment to ensure safe injection of CO2.

In this project, SINTEF and its partners drilled 5 wells to 100m depth. Ruden Geo Services assisted during the mudlogging of these wells while drilling and performed well logging to enable establishing the geological model. Afterwards, the wells were completed and provided with a large selection of monitoring tools. At 14 November 2019, the project area was officially opened, and can now be used by various research institutes to test CO2 injection in a safe and controlled environment.

Deep Coastal Groundwater: A Vast, Untapped Resource


As 2.2 billion people globally lack clean water, coastal aquifers hold the key for at least 1.45 billion.


Research suggest that coastal sedimentary basins contain enough freshwater to supply more than 65% of water-stressed populations - using existing drilling technology from the energy sector.

Ruden hosts the President of Somalia: A significant visit in Oslo

Last month, we were honored to welcome H.E. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia, his delegation, and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Ruden Water offices in Oslo for an update on our groundbreaking project on deep groundwater resources in Somalia.

Ruden received funding from the Norwegian Space Center for a feasibility assessment for climate adaptation of low-lying islands – Remote sensing for hydraulic uplift monitoring.

Every year, The Norwegian Spacecenter (Norsk Romsenter) invites organisations to apply for supplementary funds. This year, 25 organisations received funding, and Ruden is one of them.
