Carbon capture and storage
The test marks a milestone in the Poseidon CCS project, which aims to store carbon dioxide in the depleted gas reservoir below the Leman development in the southern North Sea.
The storage permits, the first of their kind, allow the Stratos facility to move forward with plans to capture and store up to 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
The first phase of the Norwegian project is expected to receive its first carbon dioxide this year, with the second phase slated to start operations in late 2028.

Lawmakers are considering a solution that would give abandoned wells a new, redemptive purpose: deep receptacles to trap carbon for millennia. -
Recently published research suggests that carbon dioxide stored underground will stay there for millions of years.
-
The funding is for 33 research and development projects which will tackle the technical challenges of capturing CO2.
-
Carbon capture and storage, with the potential for usage, will be crucial if the world is to prevent global warming. While Norway has been injecting captured CO2 in saline aquifers since the mid-1990s, there has been no attempt, and no plans exist, in Europe to use CO2 for EOR. Why not?

A new 1.0 Bcf/D facility in Baytown, Texas, is expected online no later than 2028.
-
Spending on low-carbon projects will increase by $60 billion this year, 10% higher than 2022, led by wind developments but helped by a significant rise in funding for hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization and storage infrastructure, Rystad Energy research shows.
-
A big jump in the tax incentives offered for putting CO2 in the ground, hopefully forever, has set off a mad rush to sequester CO2. But is that really the best option?
-
The sites with the most CO2 emissions to capture are often far from the best rock to sequester it, leading to design projects for transport ships.
-
At a time when there are many models vying to be the one used to evaluate and plan carbon storage sites, the US Department of Energy wants to test one developed by SPE members.
-
A critical challenge for those designing carbon dioxide storage sites is predicting where the injected gas will go. One of the only sure bets is to assume that any model of a gas plume that looks symmetrical is likely wrong.
