Conduct a preliminary desktop screening study to identify an optimal CCS location

Several governments have recognised the need for CCS to meet the Paris Agreement but are yet to develop licensing and permit procedures and processes. Our client wished to be a first mover in CCS in their region, and wished to identify which areas were suitable for injection.

Client Need:

A client wished to identify the optimal area for CO2 storage in a regional area in the Middle East, taking account of subsurface, topside infrastructure and proximity to emitters.

Description of services provided by Sproule ERCE staff:

Sproule ERCE was engaged to educate the client on global CCS developments, identify CO2 emitters and undertake a CO2 storage screening exercise at country level.
In terms of the literature review, ERC Evolution worked together with Ross Offshore to determine the optimal area for further study by reviewing available English literature documents on CCS in Israel.

Outcome:

A storage site and emitters were identified. The client is in discussions with the government for approval to proceed with detailed technical studies.
