carbon capture and storage

KBR announced it has been awarded the Concept and front-end-engineering-and-design contract by Statoil for its ground-breaking Northern Lights project to develop an onshore carbon dioxide storage terminal in Norway.

A subcommittee of the SPE Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization, and Storage Technical Section has published the Carbon Dioxide Storage Resources Management System document, which establishes technically based capacity and resources evaluation standards.

In March 2016, the SPE Board approved moving forward with work on a draft CO2 Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) by a subcommittee of the Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage Technical Section (CCUS). The subcommittee has completed the document which establishes technically-based capacity and resources evaluation standards.

Norway has an ambitious plan to take carbon capture and storage offshore to a level that could potentially see the country becoming a store for other’s emissions.

In the world of carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology, utilization is the driving factor. Three experts discussed the motivations, limitations, and challenges of CCUS at a dinner held by the Society of Petroleum Engineers CCUS Technical Section at SPE’s annual meeting.

Gassnova has assigned Statoil to evaluate the development of carbon storage on the Norwegian continental shelf. This will be the first storage site in the world receiving carbon dioxide from several industrial sources.

Global emissions of CO2 resulting from the use of fossil fuels amount to approximately 35 billion tons/yr. How much of this can we capture? How much can we store or sequester? And, perhaps the most important question: How much will it cost and who will pay?

The Southwest Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP) is one of seven large-scale demonstration projects sponsored by the US Department of Energy.

In this study, several process alternatives for the permanent sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) as solid carbonates are evaluated.

An operator has designed a demonstration project for carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and has implemented it in one of its fields.
