Carbon capture and storage
In a study that applied alternative carbon carrier technology to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that the new method recovered up to 19.5% more oil and stored up to 17.5% more carbon than conventional EOR methods.
The spring Unified Agenda provides a snapshot of efforts to advance the president’s plans for fossil fuel exploration and infrastructure.
The initial phase of the carbon capture and storage project has a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year, with a second phase—due online in 2028—expected to bring the storage capacity to 5 million tonnes per year.

The first phase of the project is set for completion in 2024. As a part of the project, Equinor, Shell, and Total will establish a new joint-venture enterprise. Equinor has awarded two EPC contracts. -
The Great Plains Synfuels Plant in North Dakota has now captured 40 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, a milestone in the synthetic natural gas production facilities’ 20-year effort to lower the impacts of energy production.

To go big on capturing CO2, the oilfield service company is acquiring a company that specializes in going small.
-
The challenge is immense, but the promise is, too. If the oil and gas business can scale up CO2 EOR, then it can play a very big role in mitigating climate change while offering carbon-negative fuels.
