Energy transition
The capability of modern wellbore surveying to increase asset value through improved subsurface modeling and completion-equipment placement is being overlooked by managers of operating companies.
This study ascertains the capital expenditure and operating expenditure associated with the reuse of existing facilities, specifically regarding a carbon capture and storage project being prepared in South Korea.
The authors state that issues faced by the Gorgon carbon capture and storage project primarily relate to risk and pressure management of the produced water from the Dupuy formation rather than from capture, transport, injection, and storage technologies.
