Potential for CO2 storage in depleted fields on the Dutch Continental shelf. Cost estimate for offshore facilities

Abstract

A study has been executed on capital and operational costs for offshore injection of CO2. The main focus was on the design and costs of process requirements for injection, required conservation and modification of existing platforms between end of production and start of CO2 injection. Also cost estimates for new platforms are provided. The study is performed in close cooperation with EBN for the input on operational costs and KCI for input on platform costs. Information on platforms for possible reuse, total phasing of the project and planning of the depleted fields to be used for the injection of CO2 is still in a pre-conceptual phase. Because no specific target for CO2 has been selected, no detailed information is available. Also in view of the limited time the study is 'high level' and generic in nature. For the purpose of this study a simplified approach for determination of the required injection facilities and platform modifications is used. Nevertheless, the study should provide a good indication on the level of expenditures which can be expected. General conclusion of the report is that based on this study a relatively simple process installation is required for CO2 injection, with low personnel attendance and  More>>
