Perenco has successful concluded the UK’s first Carbon Dioxide (CO2) injection test for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The test involved the injection of CO2 into a depleted natural gas reservoir in the UK’s Southern North Sea, marking a major milestone for Project Poseidon and the UK’s broader decarbonisation strategy.  Petrodec’s ERDA, the first rig […]

TGS, a global leader in energy data and intelligence, has released the Central Gulf Coast–Haynesville CO₂ Storage Assessment, the final segment of the comprehensive Mega Gulf Coast Assessment. This assessment builds on previous releases for the East Gulf Coast and Gulf Coast assessments in 2024, culminating in a dataset covering over 16,000 key wells with core-calibrated […]

TotalEnergies and its partners, Equinor and Shell, announce the Final Investment Decision (FID) of the second phase of the Northern Lights development, which will increase the project transport and storage capacity from 1.5 million to more than 5 million tons of CO2 per year from 2028. The first phase of Northern Lights is completed and ready […]

The Ministry of Energy announces one area in the North Sea for companies to apply for exploration licenses related to CO2-storage. Large-scale CO2-storage is important to reach the climate goals. Norway has great potential for storage on the continental shelf. Until now, a total of 13 licenses have been awarded for CO2 storage on the […]

Exxon Mobil Corporation has executed the largest offshore carbon dioxide (CO2) storage lease in the U.S. with the Texas General Land Office (GLO). The over 271,000-acre site complements the onshore CO2 storage portfolio ExxonMobil is developing, and further solidifies the U.S. Gulf Coast as a carbon capture and storage (CCS) leader. “This is yet another sign […]

Shell announced the Final Investment Decision (FID) for Polaris, a carbon capture project at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park, Scotford in Alberta, Canada. Polaris is designed to capture approximately 650,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually from the Shell-owned Scotford refinery and chemicals complex. CALGARY, AB, CANADA, June 26, 2024 – Shell Canada Products, a subsidiary […]

Equinor and main French gas transmission operator GRTgaz sign project development agreement (PDA) for a CO2 transport system for captured CO2 from industrial emitters in France to safe and permanent storage offshore Norway via the planned CO2 Highway Europe pipeline project. The development will consist of a network of onshore CO2 pipelines, to be developed by GRTGaz, which will […]

SLB has disclosed that the company has an agreement to combine its carbon capture business with Aker Carbon Capture (ACC) to support accelerated industrial decarbonization at scale. SLB and Aker Carbon Capture will combine technology portfolios, expertise and operations platforms to bring carbon capture solutions to market more quickly and more economically. Bringing together complementary […]

The Ministry of Energy has  declared two areas in the North Sea for applications related to CO2 injection and storage on the Norwegian continental shelf. “I am very pleased that several companies want storage areas for commercial storage of CO2 on the Norwegian continental shelf. We have developed a system that provides good access to […]

CASP have published their first publications on CCS. Simon Passey has been involved in two papers investigating different areas volcanic rocks can aid with the secure storage of carbon dioxide. The first paper integrates petrology, poro-perm, QXRD and MICP data to begin to understand the containment and reactivity of volcaniclastic rocks with injected CO2. This research also has implications […]
