Venezuela (2012-2013) – Geogreen and Beicip-Franlab has launched the next phase of the PDVSA CO2-EOR project aiming at realizing a pilot: Detailed CO2-EOR assessment including 3D modeling and simulation, well analysis, conceptual design for transport, risk analysis and MMV.
France (2012) – Following a first study carried out in in 2011, Geogreen has performed a second CCS-Ready assessment for a new power project of E.On, in France. As part of the assessment, Geogreen screened deep saline formations for storage suitability and completed the basic design, routing, and economic analysis for a potential CO2 transport system and the CO2 storage component.
France (2011-2012) - Geogreen is the project coordinator for this effort to develop a carbon management plan supported by a consortium of companies and public entities active in the industrial sectors around the Port of Marseille. Geogreen will perform an emissions source clustering and centralized emissions treatment (pooling) scenario development, the optimization of the emissions/CO2 collection systems and transport network, design and carbon and energy footprint analysis of the overall CO2 capture, transport and the eventual export scenarios to North Africa for EOR, CO2 valorization options around Marseille - including CO2 bio-remediation via micro-algae cultivation.
PROJECT PARTNERS
France (2010) - Geogreen assessed what steps for an E.On power plant in France would need to take to deploy CO2 transport and storage. As part of the assessment, Geogreen screened deep saline formations and gas fields for storage suitability and completed the basic design, routing, and economic analysis for a potential CO2 transport system and the CO2 storage component.
France, Netherlands, and the North Sea (2010-2012) - The EU Funded COCATE R&D project focuses on emission management and transport. The aim of the study is to assess the potential for flue gas or other fluid pooling so as to devise common emission collection systems for industries within the area around Le Havre and to design a CO2 export system for transporting the emissions to the Rotterdam hub, from where they will be sent to an eventual storage location in the North Sea. For both the local CO2/emissions transport/collection networks and the cross-border CO2 export systems, a range of technical options are proposed and assessed from risk, economic, and network management standpoints. Geogreen is the leader of the economic work package and is deeply involved in the design tasks. Geogreen's tasks involved the emissions source clustering and collective emissions treatment (pooling) scenario development, optimization of the emissions/CO2 collection systems and transport network as well as the economic analysis and cost optimization of the overall CO2 capture, transport and the eventual export scenarios to Rotterdam.
Saudi Arabia (2010-2011) - Geogreen worked closely with KAPSARC (the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center) along with BRGM and IFPEN to them elaborate a sustainable development strategy regarding emissions growth and CCS and utilization/valorization (CCUS) project deployment in the Kingdom. Specifically, Geogreen produced source-to-sink match strategy recommendations using a Geogreen-BRGM-IFPEN developed geographic information system-based decision support system (GIS-DSS), Geogreen specifically contributed the emissions source and transport layers/functions for the GIS-DSS, offered strategic advice regarding CCUS development and roadmaps throughout the kingdom, and authored a book giving a global status and outlook for CCS technology development and deployment.
Venezuela (2010 - 2013) - PDVSA has contracted Geogreen and Beicip Franlab (IFPEn subsidiary) to perform the subsurface engineering and transport design for a CO2-EOR feasibility study. Geogreen is involved in the following activities: a detailed CO2-EOR assessment including screening of onshore Oil Fields for EOR candidates, CO2 injection/CO2-EOR process simulations, well integrity analysis, conceptual design for the CO2 transport, transverse risk analysis, design of the monitoring (MMV) scheme.
Poland (2009-2010) - Geogreen performed a sedimentary basin-wide geological CO2 storage suitability assessment for the utility: screening deep saline formations and depleted gas fields in southern Poland for storage potential as well as developing basic CO2 transport options for the implied power plants and performing an economic assessment of the CO2 transport-storage chain.
France (2009) - Geogreen performed a feasibility study for E.On's Gas Storage division including a detailed capacity assessment for CO2 storage in a sedimentary basin in France.
France (2009-2011) - Geogreen worked with BRGM and the University of Orleans to assess the retrofit of a sugar beet-based biofuel refinery in central France with CCS. For the project Geogreen performed a basic onshore deep saline formation storage feasibility study, the basic design for CO2 transport options, economic analysis of the Bio-CCS chain, and carbon and energy footprint analyses.
