埃尼計(jì)劃將CO2存儲(chǔ)于利物浦灣枯竭油氣藏中

據(jù)OE網(wǎng)站10月9日?qǐng)?bào)道，近日，意大利油氣巨頭埃尼集團(tuán)在東愛(ài)爾蘭海利物浦灣地區(qū)獲得了二氧化碳評(píng)估和儲(chǔ)存許可證(CS許可證)。

根據(jù)英國(guó)石油和天然氣管理局(OGA)頒發(fā)的許可證，埃尼集團(tuán)計(jì)劃對(duì)枯竭的油氣藏(漢密爾頓、漢密爾頓北部和倫諾克斯油田)和相關(guān)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施進(jìn)行再利用，以永久存儲(chǔ)在英格蘭西北部和威爾士北部捕獲的二氧化碳。

OGA稱，埃尼申請(qǐng)CS許可證是為了幫助解決英格蘭西北部和威爾士北部的脫碳需求，目的是與工業(yè)公司合作，根據(jù)英國(guó)2050年凈零排放的目標(biāo)，從現(xiàn)有工業(yè)和未來(lái)制氫地點(diǎn)獲取和運(yùn)輸二氧化碳，用于燃料轉(zhuǎn)換、供暖、供電和運(yùn)輸。埃尼希望該項(xiàng)目能夠通過(guò)創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，幫助當(dāng)?shù)匕l(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)，同時(shí)為能源轉(zhuǎn)型和脫碳提供“切實(shí)可行的途徑”，從而造福當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)。

OGA的首席執(zhí)行官Andy Samuel表示，OGA非常高興授予這個(gè)許可證，我們希望這將是一個(gè)非常成功的項(xiàng)目。我們引領(lǐng)的能源整合工作表明，各種能源系統(tǒng)的結(jié)合，包括碳捕獲和氫，可以為英國(guó)2050年的凈零排放目標(biāo)做出重大貢獻(xiàn)。HyNet是一個(gè)令人興奮的能源整合行動(dòng)的例子——重新利用現(xiàn)有的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和枯竭油藏進(jìn)行大量的碳儲(chǔ)存，并結(jié)合各種創(chuàng)新用途的氫氣生產(chǎn)。

埃尼集團(tuán)首席執(zhí)行官Claudio Descalzi表示，我們很高興也很自豪地宣布，埃尼集團(tuán)獲得了英國(guó)碳存儲(chǔ)CS004許可證，這是該集團(tuán)獲得的首個(gè)此類許可證。這是埃尼集團(tuán)非常重要的項(xiàng)目，是英國(guó)2050年零碳目標(biāo)的里程碑，也是埃尼集團(tuán)堅(jiān)定致力于的能源轉(zhuǎn)型和脫碳戰(zhàn)略的基礎(chǔ)支柱。

埃尼已獲得為期六年“評(píng)估期”的CS許可證，該評(píng)估允許進(jìn)行評(píng)估和計(jì)劃，從而隨后可能向OGA申請(qǐng)存儲(chǔ)許可證以及在任何CO2存儲(chǔ)操作開(kāi)始之前需要的相關(guān)批準(zhǔn)。

評(píng)估期限為六年，埃尼可以在評(píng)估期限內(nèi)的任何時(shí)間申請(qǐng)存儲(chǔ)許可證，然后應(yīng)進(jìn)一步征得OGA的同意。

UK: Eni Plans to Store CO2 in Depleted Oil and Gas Reservoirs in Liverpool Bay

Italian oil and gas company Eni has received a carbon dioxide (CO2) appraisal and storage license (CS license) in an area located within the Liverpool Bay area of the East Irish Sea.

Under the license awarded by the UK Oil and Gas Authority (OGA), Eni plans to reuse and repurpose depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs (the Hamilton, Hamilton North and Lennox fields) and associated infrastructure to permanently store CO2 captured in NW England and N Wales.

"The application for a CS license was made by Eni in order to help address the decarbonization needs of NW England and N Wales and aims to be part of a collaborative effort with industrial companies to capture and transport CO2 from existing industries and future hydrogen production sites for fuel switching, heating, power and transportation in the context of UK targets for net-zero emissions by 2050," OGA said.

According to OGA, Eni expects the project to benefit local communities by creating new job opportunities and assist to develop the economy of the area while providing "a tangible pathway" to energy transition and decarbonization.

Andy Samuel, Chief Executive of the OGA said: “The OGA is very pleased to award this license for what we hope will be a highly successful project. The Energy Integration work we’ve been leading shows that the combination of various energy systems, including carbon capture and hydrogen, can make a significant contribution to the UK’s net zero 2050 target. HyNet is an exciting example of energy integration in action – re-using existing infrastructure and depleted reservoirs for significant carbon storage, coupled with hydrogen generation for a variety of innovative uses.”

Claudio Descalzi, Eni CEO commented: “I’m delighted and proud to announce the award of the license CS004 for carbon storage in the UK, first license of its kind for Eni. This is a vitally important project for Eni and represents a milestone for the 2050 Net Zero ambitions of the UK and a fundamental pillar for the strategy of energy transition and decarbonization that Eni is strongly committed to.”

Eni has been awarded a CS Licence with a six-year ‘Appraisal Term’, allowing assessments and planning that may lead to a subsequent application to the OGA for a storage permit and the associated approvals required prior to any CO2 storage operations commencing.

While the appraisal term is for six years, Eni can apply for a storage permit at any time during the appraisal term, which should then require further consents form OGA.
