A nearby well (previously used to produce natural gas) is used to monitor the injected carbon dioxide. A second stage of the project, involving evaluation of carbon dioxide storage in deep saline formations, has been highly successful and provided data on estimating CO 2 storage capacity using an
The Gorgon Carbon Dioxide Injection Project is part of the Gorgon Project, one of the world's largest natural gas projects. [1] The Gorgon Project, located on Barrow Island in Western Australia, includes a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant, a domestic gas plant, and a Carbon Dioxide Injection Project. Carbon dioxide injections commenced in 2019 ...
The Midale fields were injected with 0.4 Mtpa and the Weyburn fields are injected with 2.4 Mtpa for a total injection capacity of 2.8 Mtpa. The Weyburn-Midale Carbon Dioxide Project (or IEA GHG Weyburn-Midale CO 2 Monitoring and Storage Project), was conducted there. Injection continued even after the study concluded.
Australia's bushfires are contributing to one of the biggest annual increases in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere since record-keeping began more than 60 years ago ...
The Barossa Gas Project is an offshore gas and condensate oil field under construction by Santos Limited in Australian waters in the Timor Sea around 300 km (190 mi) north of Darwin in the Northern Territory. [1] Upon completion in late 2025, it is estimated to be the most carbon-intensive gas development in Australia. [2]
Around 70% of announced CCS projects have not materialized, [2] with a failure rate above 98% in the electricity sector. [4] As of 2024 CCS was in operation at 44 plants worldwide, [5] collectively capturing about one-thousandth of global carbon dioxide emissions. [6] 90% of CCS operations involve the oil and gas industry.
Carbon dioxide (CO 2), which comprises around 15% of the raw gas stream from the Gorgon field, is stripped out then injected into formations 2 kilometers [23] below the island, with 3.4 to 4 million tonnes of CO 2 planned to be stored each year. [24] Inclusion of the carbon capture project was required by Australian environmental regulators. [23]
The European Union has drafted plans to capture and store hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 emissions by 2050 to ensure industries can meet Europe's climate change goals, a draft document showed.
