Global concerns: Is CCS worth an endeavour? Divided verdict– Developed vs developing debate Divided verdict– Developed vs developing debate Too costly Too costly Insignificant short term return Insignificant short term return Zero incentive-- UNFCCC’s reluctance Zero incentive-- UNFCCC’s reluctance Long term efficacy Long term efficacy Leakage potential Leakage potential Safety Safety

Global Initiatives: Can CCS be made worth the endeavour? Extensive R&D for establishing long term efficacy Extensive R&D for establishing long term efficacy Rigorous monitoring of established projects Rigorous monitoring of established projects Benefits through EOR Benefits through EOR Supplement with incentives (recognition by UNFCCC) Supplement with incentives (recognition by UNFCCC) Making mandatory by law Making mandatory by law

CCS– Is it relevant and important? Relevant and important if Relevant and important if  Fossil fuel remains the major source of energy; because  Only known process for long term mitigation  Only known process for large scale mitigation at one go  Only known process without possibility of manifestation of CO 2 at some other time and place. Irrelevant and unimportant if Irrelevant and unimportant if  Fossil fuel ceases to be the major source of energy We are to decide.

CCS projects-- Prerequisites Assured Source Assured Source Technique to capture CO 2 Technique to capture CO 2 Availability of a sink Availability of a sink Technique to transport CO 2 from source to sink Technique to transport CO 2 from source to sink Availability of effective monitoring system Availability of effective monitoring system

CCS– Scope in up/mid stream O&G sector PrerequisitesPossibility Reason/ Special case, if any Reason/ Special case, if any SourcePoor Except if there is a sour gas source Capturing technique Good Amine capture is a common technique SinkAssured All depleted reservoirs Transport’n technique Good Transportation is one of the O&G operations MonitoringAssured Can undertake required surveys.

CCS– Scope in up/mid stream O&G sector contd. The scope of CCS projects are limited except for an assured source The scope of CCS projects are limited except for an assured source  Possible sources  Plants processing sour gas  Flue gas  Tie up with other sector

Processes involved Source identification Source identification CO 2 capture CO 2 capture Reservoir analysis Reservoir analysis Transportation to sink Transportation to sink Injection Injection Monitoring Monitoring

CCS– Monitoring and safety Reservoir monitoring to check leakage Reservoir monitoring to check leakage  Baseline survey prior to injection  Stimulated reservoir analysis backed up by regular and reliable monitoring  Multi formation monitoring scheme is the latest recommendation ( ground water, seismic, PVT, logging etc) Surface facility monitoring to check corrosion/scaling Surface facility monitoring to check corrosion/scaling

CCS– Monitoring and safety contd. Safety issues: Safety issues:  Safe containment of CO 2 underground over the project life.  There should be no need to re demonstrate in the future generation about safety aspect of a CCS site.  No storage site should be closed unless long term safety assured.  A proper regulatory framework to be in place.

CCS– possibility in ONGC Limited scope ONGC– an up and mid stream O&G company ONGC– an up and mid stream O&G company Most reservoirs are sweet oil bearing Most reservoirs are sweet oil bearingPossibility Offshore reservoirs as they have sour gas Offshore reservoirs as they have sour gas Flue gas from in situ combustion at Mehsana Asset Flue gas from in situ combustion at Mehsana Asset

Inject it at S3+4 sand zones for enhanced recovery of crude from the reservoir.

CCS for EOR ( Hazira/Ankleshwar) contd Project potential Project potential CO2 EOR is feasible by injecting CO2 in the major oil bearing sand zone under immiscible conditions.

CCS for EOR ( Hazira/Ankleshwar) contd Processes involved Processes involved  Sweetening of sour gas by amine absorption  Acid gas is the byproduct (97% CO 2 )  Selective removal of H 2 S from acid gas by selective regenerative amine ( modified LOCAT Sulphur removal)  Dehydration and compression of CO2 at Hazira.  Transportation to Ankleshwar through 12” dia 75 Km pipeline (new pipeline with anti corrosive material)  Recompression of CO2 to 160Kg/cm2 for attaining super critical stage.

CCS for EOR ( Hazira/Ankleshwar) contd Processes involved Processes involved –Injection of CO2 in 12 injector wells.( new wells required with anti corrosive casing) –Production of oil from 67 producer wells (new wells). ( Expected peak production rate is 770M3/day). –Monitoring for leakage, safety aspects, scaling, sand problems, corrosion
