PROJECT

REX-CO2 (Re-using existing wells for CO2 storage operations)

Lab

Technology Owner:

About: The REX-CO2 project will develop a procedure and tools for evaluating existing hydrocarbon wells for CO2 storage, helping stakeholders make informed decisions on the potential re-use of certain wells or fields. A key output will be a software tool, developed – using case study evaluations from the six participating countries – for screening and assessing wells for their re-use potential.

Application: Utilization

Type: Geologic Storage

Partners: British Geological Survey (BGS), Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), European Union's ERA-NET Accelerating CCS Technologies (ACT)
