Carbon capture and storage
The California Resources Corporation achieved the state’s first carbon dioxide injection into two depleted reservoirs with the potential to store 38 million tonnes.
Research by Enervus sees early 2026 permitting activity for the carbon capture and storage wells pointing to a growing approval queue, even while the rate of applications eases.
This paper presents a case study of oriented tubing-conveyed perforation followed by an acidizing operation to overcome technical challenges posed by a depleted reservoir targeted for a carbon capture, utilization, and storage project.
