The Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership: CO2 Sequestration Demonstration Projects Adding Value to the Oil and Gas Industry
The Plains CO2;Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, one of seven regional partnerships established by the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory, is identifying the most suitable CO2;storage strategies and technologies, aiding in regulatory development, educating the general public, and investigating appropriate infrastructure for carbon capture and storage (CCS) commercialization within its region. The PCOR Partnership region includes all or part of nine U.S. states and four Canadian provinces. The PCOR Partnership has teamed with industrial partners to conduct two commercial-scale projects that are of immediate interest to the oil and gas industry. The goal of the Fort Nelson project is to demonstrate the concept of CCS to manage the CO2;emissions of the largest natural gas-processing facility in North America by injecting CO2;into a saline formation in British Columbia, Canada. The Bell Creek project's goal is to integrate site characterization, modeling and simulation, and risk management to design a comprehensive monitoring plan for CO2;storage and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the Bell Creek oil field in Montana, USA. The PCOR Partnership is also evaluating oil fields in its region to estimate potential CO2&nbsView/Download Document
