A Portfolio of Commercial-Scale Carbon-Capture-and-Storage Demonstration Projects

A major oil company is progressing a portfolio of commercial-scale carbon-capture-and-storage (CCS) demonstration projects covering an array of technologies that target applications of relevance to the wider oil and gas industry. A number of key learnings have been obtained on the technology-deployment and the critical-project-development aspects of the different project phases. This paper provides an overview of these learnings, with a specific focus on the issues faced by CCS-project developers.
Introduction
Over the last decade, the company, with its partners, has been helping to advance CCS through a series of CCS demonstration projects. The operator’s CCS commercial and project portfolio includes
- The Quest project, which is the first CCS project of commercial scale in the heavy-oil industry
- The Peterhead CCS project, which, if realized, could be the world’s first commercial-scale, full-chain project to demonstrate the feasibility of CCS at a gas-fired power station
This paper explores in detail the Quest project and the Peterhead project, the latter being currently in the front-end engineering and design phase.
