For remote, power intensive Extractive or Hydrocarbon Processing Sites For remote, power intensive Extractive (Mining), Hydrocarbon Processing, or Industrial sites, sometimes there might be an opportunity to install large scale hybrid renewable energy solutions. Combining Solar PV, Wind, and perhaps Geothermal could offer a resilient energy mix, able to better […]

Geothermal Energy resources are found in tens of thousands of locations, however not all locations are conveniently located close to suitable electrical utility grids with good feed-in tariffs. One option is to use the electricity to produce some form of Green Hydrogen for road, rail, or pipeline export to market. […]
Off grid or Bad grid Standalone Power Systems (SPS) Off grid or bad grid Standalone Power Systems can utilise hybrid Solar PV and Hydrogen power solutions to provide economic, environmentally sustainable clean Renewable Energy systems. In some locations, the Solar PV can be supplemented by Wind Turbines. For locations with […]
Potential for Geothermal, CCS, EOR/EGR, and Energy Storage End of life, depleted hydrocarbon, porous formations, either sedimentary or naturally fractured systems, are valuable assets with existing data and infrastructure potentially able to be repurposed for hybrid redevelopments. Additional value is able to be investigated and captured with potential combinations of […]
Another type of reservoir potentially able to be used to capture Geothermal Energy is naturally fractured geological systems. Significantly recognised for potential hydrocarbon production over the past decade, some of these reservoirs may have good effective permeability to be repurposed later to facilitate the circulation of heat transfer fluids for […]
An eye opening The Economist article perfectly matching our own research in current non ESG and high Polluting industries investment and debt raising patterns. Signficant non public investment will make matters worse for the #environment, #climatechange since no disclosure/reporting may lead to extraction of #hydrocarbons in ways which are more polluting. We very much agree with Larry […]
The next CCS example in SE Asia to be discussed is the BP Tangguh project in Indonesia. A giant depleted gas reservoir is planned for carbon sequestration along with Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR). Significant CO2 emissions from the LNG facilities will be captured and injected into the nearby Vorwata reservoir.
Some very good projects are being developed in South East Asia involving high CO2 gas reservoirs and the use of Carbon Capture and Storage of these potential emissions in nearby depleted gas reservoirs. The first example is Repsol’s Sakakemang project in Sumatra Indonesia.

In the right circumstances, CCS and EOR can be linked to sequester significant amounts of CO2 (up to ~100mmscfd / 2 MTA) and extract additional amounts of residual oil (up to ~50mmbo in some places). Finding the right large low BTU reservoir and then locating a large residual oil reservoir […]
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.
Additional confidence in Carbon Capture and Storage solutions can come from the success certain Operators have had with combined solutions of CCS and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Successfully sequestering CO2 whilst capturing more value with increased recovery from oil reservoirs has allowed these technical solutions to be optimised and demonstrated […]
