Carbon Capture & Storage Services
Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) has been identified by many as a key element of Carbon Emissions policy and a priority technology to reduce emissions from many industries. As part of any CCUS initiative there will be a need to review existing assets and infrastructure to evaluate the options available for converting them into carbon storage opportunities.
Industries are embracing large-scale permanent CCUS, by injecting it underground into naturally occurring rock formations, such as former natural gas or oil reservoirs, and coal beds. Our specialists risk-assess former and existing production sites to determine their viability and capability to safely and permanently store CO2, providing a technical assessment and the recommended actions required to convert decommissioned and near end of life wells.
CO2 Storage
In an effort to reduce CO2 entering the atmosphere, injecting it underground into naturally occurring rock formations, former oil & gas reservoirs, coal beds or saline aquifers, is now an accepted proposition. Especially when combined with the repurposing of existing infrastructure for CO2 transport and storage. Our specialists provide expert commercial, technical, operational and regulatory assessment to ensure that CO2 storage is economically beneficial, whether undertaken within a single organisation or within industry-wide multi-ownership projects
Flow Modelling
The emission of greenhouse gases and the consequential climate change impact is one of the greatest challenges facing the global community, and of which CO2 is the most significant. Flow Modelling technology allows us to create detailed predictions of CO2 levels and other gases produced by existing societal, commercial and industrial operations and the impact of new policies and procedures. Comprehensive in-house training and ongoing support, allowing future modelling predictions to be carried out internally can also be provided.
Cost Benefit Analysis
Climate change experts and institutions agree on the crucial role for CCUS in cost effectively realising global emissions reduction targets. Where oil or gas production fields are at the end of their lives, the reuse of existing infrastructure for CO2 transport and storage, may prove effective in offsetting some of the decommissioning costs, as well as a significant provider of employment opportunities. Our specialists provide expert analysis and advice across a range of commercial, technical, operational and regulatory assessments.
