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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Another in our series of CCS projects, this one was prepared by Stellae Energy’s Head of Subsurface David Pickering. This project was a good example of combining CCS with EOR. We are going to have more flyers on these kinds of hybrid projects coming up next week.
As we have discussed previously, there are multiple options for where to store CO2 in CCS scenarios. One such location is sometimes found when reviewing end of life oil or gas reservoirs looking for Geothermal opportunities and instead identifying a depleted reservoir suitable for CCS. The Circular Economy concept needs […]
