Very helpful presentation last week by Dr Kristina Sevastianova at the FPSO EMEA Congress in London. It was great speaking at the #FPSO EMEA congress 2023 last week. We were talking about the FPSO market, push towards zero-carbon, #energysecurity and #sustainability practices among other topics affecting EMEA’s FPSO industry. Typical […]
Another example of where experience with utilising CO2 injection to facilitate Enhanced Oil Recovery has also helped advance confidence in carbon sequestration technologies and storage integrity monitoring. These combined CCS and EOR solutions continue to scale up with very significant similar but much larger projects being investigated internationally.
There are good technologies to capture Carbon and tens of thousands of suitable subsurface locations for Storage. With the continued use of carbon based energy sources and processes during our Energy Transition, we should be rapidly scaling up CCS.
After Carbon Capture, another promising way of safely sequestering Carbon Dioxide is to inject it into mafic and ultramafic geological formations. Storage through in-situ mineralisation has been demonstrated and we have good technologies and improved analytical tools proven in pilot projects. That gives us a wider range of potential storage […]
We cannot pretend that the use of carbon based fuels or carbon based industrial processes will not continue for some time. The reality is that there are tens of thousands of locations with significant carbon emissions. We have the technologies to effectively mitigate these emissions now, but there are some […]
The existing steel industry is another significant industrial emitter of carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon Capture and Storage is technically feasible to help mitigate these emissions. Commerciality will depend on whether the particular plant is exposed to Carbon Taxes or, if the steel is exported, to Cross-Border Carbon Duties. But CCS […]
In the series about Carbon Capture and Storage, here is another short technical flyer about how the partial pressure of the Carbon Dioxide we are capturing affects the cost of the facilities. The good news is that technologies are advancing and scaling well and costs are reducing. For a world […]
With the increase of CCS awareness as a potential solution for mitigating carbon emissions, we can review a few new technologies helping the economics. Here are three examples. Modularization and scalability Modular, containerized, and standardized components will help to reduce the costs for CCS. It will allow smaller emitters to […]
There are currently over 50# CO2 pipelines that cover a distance of ~5,000 miles (8000 km). The lack of CO2 transport infrastructure is definitely a limiting factor for CCS scale-up. Existing oil and gas pipelines can be converted to CO2 transport pipelines for short-distance, low-volume transport. For these distances, CO2 may be transported in […]
Each potential Carbon Capture opportunity will have particular characteristics which need to be properly evaluated and engineered to make the right technology selection for efficient, cost effective operations. There are good technologies available and they are advancing rapidly with good applications available for lessons learned to facilitate continuous improvement. As […]
Technically Well Established and Commercially Feasible with Carbon Taxes and Cross-Border Duties As we have looked at end of life oil & gas assets to investigate geothermal potential, it is common to find some reservoirs that are not suitable for geothermal, but are well suited for Carbon Capture and Storage […]
