The project is focused on leveraging the client’s expertise with oil and gas development and CO2 EOR experience to create a sustainable Gulf Coast Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (GC CCUS) business. The client will partner with an industrial emitter to progress a CO2 sequestration project. Phase I of this initiative will be to capture 1.2-1.3MTPA (Million Tonnes per Annum) of CO2 in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. Additional phases can be implemented considering the capacity for potential growth, allowing for additional CO2 volumes (up to 5 MTPA total) from other emitters and/or emission sources, as well as future sequestration opportunities. The client has performed preliminary engineering in-house to capture multiple emitters and a range of CO2 volumes in the region.
The pipelines and facilities associated with the project covered under this design basis are as follows: The12” Emitter 1 CO2 Pipeline (North/South) will begin at the Eastern Emitter Site, traverse South, cross the Mississippi River and Bayou Des Allemands, and will terminate South of Bayou Des Allemands. The 10” Emitter 2 CO2 Pipeline(East/West) will begin south of the Mississippi River at Emitter Site 2, traverse South Westerly, and will terminate North of Bayou Des Allemands. The two injection sites are located in marshy terrain and are expected to be installed on elevated, compacted fill sites.
Scope:
• Validate and optimize the existing hydraulic sizing calculations
• Validate and optimize pipeline routing to the client’s acreage pad 1 location
• Preliminary Pipeline Alignment Sheet to support Mississippi river crossing
• Identify and propose any alternative optimized pipeline route(s)
• Generate FEL1 Level TIC (-20/+50%) estimate for all CO2 volume and routing scenarios
• Develop Level 1 project schedule
• Identify applicable local and federal regulations for pipeline scopes
