Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) - The Environmental Impact from Project Start to Closure

One of the ways of limiting the increase in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, and at the same time, meeting the increased energy demand is by applying a comprehensive technology that includes, inter alia, capture, use and storage of carbon. In order to increase oil production in the final phase of oilfield development, the Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods (EOR methods) are commonly used. One of the EOR methods implies CO2 injection in order to achieve additional oil recovery. The risk of leakage of injected CO2 is present at all CO2 EOR project phases, from the beginning and up to the project’s end. Prior to starting CO2 injection, it is necessary to carry out the assessment of the initial state of the environment. In this paper, the impact of potential CO2 leakage (emissions) from pipelines or geological reservoirs will be presented.
