Project to test and evaluate CO2 capture and storage at an existing natural gas storage facility and in a deeper land-based saline formation. |
ARC ECBM Recovery Project/ Alberta, Canada |
|
|
Pilot-scale project (3 test wells). |
Sleipner/ Norway |
1.0 |
1996 |
CO2 is captured from an off-shore natural gas processing platform and injected into a saline formation. |
|
Project motivated by a net tax on CO2 emissions. |
|
Weyburn / United States and Canada |
1.5 |
2000 |
CO2 is captured in North Dakota and piped across the US-Canada border to the Weyburn oilfield in Saskatchewan. |
|
Significant modeling and field testing of CO2 monitoring equipment being conducted in parallel to EOR project. |
|
In Salah/ Algeria |
1.2 |
2004 |
CO2 captured from natural gas processing and reinjected to enhance natural gas recovery. |
