Weyburn Carbon Capture Utilization and Sequestration Project

Recovered an additional104 millionbarrels of incremental oil

Project will extend life of the facility by25 years

EOR incremental production for Weyburn:15,000 bbl/day

More than 1.7 million tonnes of CO₂/year
sequestered at Weyburn CO₂Enhanced Oil Recovery project

Challenges

Solutions

Provided EPCM services for the installation of all surface facilities for the original Weyburn CO₂miscible flood.
Original surface facilities at the Central Process Unit included inlet separation, FWKO’s, two 6000-HP CO₂recycle compressors, CO₂dehydration, produced water injection, and 55 km of high-pressure CO₂distribution pipelines.
Expansion and upgrading projects included installation of a two-stage 17,500 HP CO₂recycle compressors, two CO₂dehydration facilities sized for 5,000 t/day of recycled CO₂, 530 m3/hr water injection pump, new transformer, a 30,000 bbl water storage tank with booster pumps, and upgrades to FWKO system.
Field facilities included all production/injection satellites, and production/injection pipelines.

Highlights

Proved technical and economic feasibility of carbon storage in geological formations
Proved CO₂injection as a viable method for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
Provided $3.5 billion in added value to the provincial economy

Project numbers

Projected to store 45 million net tonnes of CO₂over the project life
6000 t/dof CO₂injection,1.8 Mt/yrof CO₂injection (equivalent to600,000cars off the road for a year)
