We worked with a leading US CCS company from 2019 to 2024, making major contributions to two Class VI Wells permit applications to the US EPA.
Amongst other projects, Carbon Fluids has:
- developed a risk-based approach to a CCUS opportunity in SE Asia, to inject CO2 into a depleted gas reservoir – a multi-MMT CO2 project;
- worked with a major oil company over many years to model and analyse the performance of an operating CCS project at In Salah in Algeria, including geo-mechanical and thermal effects;
- for separate UK Continental Shelf CCS projects, (1) conducted a sensitivity and risk analysis of injectivity, with geo-mechanical and thermal coupling, and (2) co-ordinated the development and use of the sub-surface model;
- worked on a multi-year CCS opportunity on the NW Shelf of Australia with injection into an open saline aquifer.
