Main issues focused on prior to injection - MIGRATION

No migration of the CO2 back to the Sleipner wells

  • New seismic survey in 1994 changed the location from NW to 2.8 km

NNE of the SLA (the current location)

  • Structural trap identified, saddle area northwards

Predicted migration direction northwards

  • Base Utsira Fm shows shale diapirs east of SLA expected to reduce

the horizontal distribution of the CO2 towards the SLA

SLA Assumed CO2 migration direction

~300 bar ~150 bar, 5oC 30 kg/s CO2 >150 bar, 15oC 2 inch orifice “safe location” DHSV

Need for depressurising

  • When testing the DHSV – Required to be tested at dp= 30 bar
  • In case of operating problems and pipeline breakage (anchors

etc.) Factors that needs verification:

  • How long time to depressurise?
  • Minimum design temperature: -23oC
  • Heat transfer from sea-water and sediments

  • Triggering factors
  • Injection operated at pressures and flow higher than the

formation could take

  • Underlying causes
  • 1. Misjudgement of potential hazard
  • 2. Requirements/guidelines incomplete or missing
  • 3. Inadequate follow-up / control of work
  • 4. Important information not communicated/understood
  • 5. Consequences of the modification was inadequately

assessed

Capture from power plants and industrial sources;

Capture from flue gases can be a magnitude more difficult than CO2-capture from natural gas Volume, pressure, concentration, energy consumption, emissions to air and so forth Large activity in EU and globally wrt. finding better technologies Lots of pilot and a few demo units, numerous industrial scale engineering projects Many more than shown in the above pictures

The next big step for CO2-capture from flue gas sources;

The European CO2 Test Centre (TCM) plus full scale CO2-capture at StatoilHydros Mongstad refinery

From the left: Location map, picture of the Mongstad refinery, an illustration of the power plant Rule of the thumb: the capture part may be ¾ of the total CCS-cost The primary objective of TCM is to test and qualify technology for the capture of CO2 in order to reduce the costs and risks associated with large-scale plants

Concentrate on the North Sea Basin in the initial phase, due to: CO2 point sources in northern Europe

  • EU launch CO2 storage first
  • Norwegian government support
  • Somewhat known geology
  • Increasing public support
  • Industry ready to begin

In sum CCS is doable for oil and gas companies with their experience The CO2-rich gas operators are most likely to continue pioneering CCS The challenge is primarily to find ways to finance such projects There is still some way to go wrt. technology and (not least) cost Let us not underestimate the challenges of geological storage Let us keep a focus on the opportunity of using CO2 for EOR
