A forthcoming carbon burial plot in Texas state waters sets the stage for what could evolve into the widespread repurposing of depleted Gulf of Mexico wells, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) engineer said. In the first ever offshore carbon capture and sequestration project in the U.S., Gulf of Mexico operator Talos Energy has teamed up with Freeport LNG Development L.P. to permanently store carbon dioxide (CO_2) in a dedicated wellbore immediately offshore the pretreatment facilities of Freeport LNG's liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Freeport, Texas. Talos and its operating partner Storegga Geotechnologies Ltd., plan first injection by year-end 2024. |
