Talos Energy Inc. announced February 15 that it had reached an agreement with a large Louisiana landowner to lease about 26,000 acres along the Mississippi River industrial corridor for future carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. The same day, Talos announced in a separate press release its signing of a memorandum of understanding with EnLink Midstream LLC to provide integrated CO2 transportation solutions in the region. These announcements mark the first major CCS project in the Baton Rouge / New Orleans area, known as the "River Bend CCS" project, and the first with an integrated midstream solution dedicated to permanent sequestration activities. Talos will be the project manager and operator of the injection, storage and monitoring and will be joined by its partner, Storegga Limited. The lease covers approximately 26,000 acres leased in Iberville, St. James, Assumption and Lafourche parishes, one of the largest industrial regions in the United States , with approximately 80 million metric tons of CO2 emitted regionally per year. The one Hub-class sequestration project is composed of three distinct sites with a cumulative storage capacity of more than 500 million metric tons, identified collectively as River Bend CCS. |
