carbon capture and storage

This paper presents an analysis of a CO2-foam-injection pilot in the Salt Creek Field, Natrona County, Wyoming.

In my previous features, I discussed the challenges facing carbon dioxide (CO2), both technical and economic. By far the biggest use of CO2 is in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In this feature, the focus is on overcoming the biggest challenges facing CO2 EOR—gravity override and mobility.

Climate change has brought the oil industry face-to-face with the enormous challenge of providing the world with a source of efficient and reliable energy while at the same time ensuring that CO2 emissions are mitigated.

Chief Executive Officer Ben van Beurden has the same message for activists seeking to bind Royal Dutch Shell to deep emissions cuts and investors concerned about the merits of shifting away from oil and gas: Trust me.

A carbon capture and storage (CCS) white knight has appeared on the horizon, and it is potentially a game changer. The US Congress has considerably expanded what was a modest and limited tax credit for CCS into something meaningful that ought to accelerate deployment of the technology.

Inventys is receiving $2.6 million from Natural Resources Canada through its Energy Innovation Program to support the development of a 30-tonne-per-day carbon-dioxide-capture pilot plant at Husky Energy’s Pikes Peak South Lloyd thermal project.

US Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and Khalid Al Falih, Saudi minister of energy, industry, and mineral resources, signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a framework for mutually beneficial cooperation in the area of clean fossil fuels and carbon management.

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.
