Permian CCS Center Carbon Capture & Storage Technology Carbon Capture & CO 2 EOR Learning Through the Permian CCS Center October 7, 2011 E. Lance Cole, PTTC
Current U.S. O&G Trends Game changing horizontal drilling, multistage fracs Unconventional gas first, then oil Taking horizontal/frac back to conventional reservoirs that were marginal w vertical well technology -- exploration is nice, but back to mature fields where one knows the oil is there just have to get it out - >> Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) CO 2 is one of most proven EOR processes
U.S. & Permian Basin CO 2 EOR Growth Perm Basin & U.S. CO2 EOR History 300 Annual CO2 EOR Oil in kbopd 250 200 150 100 50 PB CO2 EOR OIL (KBOPD) U.S. CO2 EOR OIL (KBOPD) Supply limited decline 0 1972 1976 1980 1984 1988 1992 1996 2000 2004 2008 2012 Year
CO 2 EOR Potential (Demand) Pentup Growth from Conventional CO 2 EOR PLUS Residual Oil Zone (ROZ) Potential ROZ = naturally waterflooded zone below pay >> reservoir may be better than main pay zone >> not restricted to just under existing fields ROZ proven in Permian Basin field projects Also being found in other basins
Volumes & Sources of CO2 for EOR Estimated Daily North American CO2 Source Deliveries for CO2 EOR - Dec '10 Ammonia (Fert) 1.3% Nat'l Gas Plants 19.4% Coal Synfuels 4.8% Ethanol 0.0% Ethylene 0.1% Refinery 0.0% TOTAL CO2 VOLUMES NA = 3.1 bcfpd PB = 1.8 bcfpd (Both New Records) Underground 74.4% From Hargrove et al (2010) 2010 CO 2 Conference, Midland, TX
