Abstract
Majority of currently operational large-scale integrated carbon capture and storage projects (LSIPs) are in the USA and Canada. This demonstrates the leadership of the North American petroleum industry in successful implementation of geologic CO2 storage technology via simultaneous CO2-EOR and storage strategy. These LSIPs mainly utilize anthropogenic CO2 captured at the natural gas processing plant used by the petroleum industry for processing the natural gas resulting from its routine oil and gas extraction operations. Other oil producing countries such Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Brazil are also following suite by launching simultaneous CO2-EOR and storage strategy based LSIPs and large-scale geologic CO2 storage projects.
