Project Description
Advanced Resources International is determining the feasibility of developing a commercial-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) geologic storage hub near Monkey Island, Louisiana. The storage portion of the project will be the first developed on offshore Louisiana state lands. The safety and economic viability of the hub are determined by: (1) acquiring existing commercial seismic data covering areas of the prospective CO2 storage; (2) drilling an onshore stratigraphic test well to obtain log and core data required to inform geologic and reservoir models; (3) conducting risk assessments of technical and non-technical risks; and (4) ensuring continuous community engagement and partnership. By its conclusion, the project plans to submit NEPA Documentation, and prepare a Geologic Catalog of Materials, a Storage Field Development Plan, and a CO2 Pipeline FEED Study.
Project Benefits
This project is helping develop leading practices for CO2 storage projects in Louisiana state waters, especially related to permitting requirements for offshore Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) deployment. Additionally, the project is helping attract brownfield/greenfield CCS projects to the Louisiana coast, which could result in better socio-economic conditions for distressed communities, high paying jobs for displaced energy industry workforce, and air quality improvement in the project area.
