Project goal
To perform a study to understand CO2 storage capacity on a depleted gas field.
Client
Oil and gas operator
Asset
A gas processing plant and proposed Ammonia plant needing to deal with their CO2 emissions
Location
Onshore Australia
CO2Tech Challenge
CO2Tech were tasked with quickly appraising a depleted gas field for potential CO2 storage.
Why CO2Tech
CO2Tech have nearly 20 years of experience of delivering projects to the Australian Standard for geological storage of carbon dioxide (AS ISO 27914:2019).
CO2Tech have experienced technical experts that have actually worked on geological sequestration projects so can provide advice that is relevant to commercial CCS projects and based on real world experience.
Benefits
Cost-effective
CO2Tech provided significant cost-savings to the client when compared to performing the same task in-house.
Independent verification
CO2Tech provided the client with an expert independent analysis that they could use to progress their CO2 emissions abatement plans quickly and efficiently.
Capacity estimation
CO2Tech provided the client confidence and expert analysis that their strategy of CO2-abatement through CO 2 storage was feasible with sufficient storage capacity.
Rapid results
CO2Tech had the expertise and experience to quickly turn around the clients’ request within 4-week timeframe.
What We did
CO2Tech extensively reviewed and provided recommendations on:
- Provided a greater and more realistic insight to the storage capacity of the completed gas field considering all storage mechanisms
- Estimated the storage capacity of the nearby saline aquifers which would increase the overall capacity
- Provided a high-level analysis of containment and injectivity
- Well integrity assessment of existing wells
The result
Indicative capacity of depleted gas field for CO2 storage
Potential for extending CO2 storage in nearby saline aquifers
Data gaps and key risks
Recommendations on future steps
Why CO2Tech
CO2Tech has unrivalled practical experience in capturing CO2 from industrial emissions in Australia. It can leverage its unique access to advanced storage projects providing the crucial connection between carbon capture and permanent underground CO2 storage.
