Harbour繼續(xù)以60%的股份作為Viking CCS的運(yùn)營商，英國石油公司獲得40%的非運(yùn)營股份。
Viking CCS位于工業(yè)化程度較高的亨伯地區(qū)附近，據(jù)Harbour稱，有可能實(shí)現(xiàn)英國政府到2030年每年捕獲和儲(chǔ)存3000萬噸二氧化碳的目標(biāo)的三分之一。
在宣布這一消息之前，英國政府最近決定啟動(dòng)其CCS集群測序過程的第二軌道，并承認(rèn)Vikin CCS是這一過程的兩個(gè)主要運(yùn)輸和存儲(chǔ)系統(tǒng)競爭者之一。
Harbour Energy表示：“Vikin項(xiàng)目的交付可能會(huì)對(duì)該地區(qū)產(chǎn)生變革，在未來十年內(nèi)，可能會(huì)在整個(gè)二氧化碳捕獲、運(yùn)輸和儲(chǔ)存價(jià)值鏈上釋放高達(dá)70億英鎊的投資，在施工期間創(chuàng)造超過10000個(gè)就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，并為亨伯及其周邊地區(qū)提供約40億英鎊的總附加值。”。
Harbour和英國石油公司已經(jīng)對(duì)林肯郡海上集氣系統(tǒng)(LOGGS)管道有共同的興趣，該管道計(jì)劃作為該項(xiàng)目的一部分重新利用。
Harbour Energy表示：“這提供了一個(gè)獨(dú)特的、低成本的機(jī)會(huì)，可以將客戶連接到枯竭的Vikin氣田，該氣田最近對(duì)其3億噸二氧化碳儲(chǔ)存能力進(jìn)行了獨(dú)立驗(yàn)證。”。
Viking CCS還可以進(jìn)入英國聯(lián)合港口伊明漢港計(jì)劃中的新二氧化碳運(yùn)輸碼頭，有可能將來自英國其他地方和國際上分散排放者的二氧化碳運(yùn)輸?shù)絍iking油田內(nèi)進(jìn)行永久封存。
根據(jù)軌道2集群排序過程的結(jié)果，預(yù)計(jì)2024年將做出最終投資決定。Harbour表示，該項(xiàng)目最早可能在2027年投入運(yùn)營，到2030年，每年大約儲(chǔ)存1000萬噸二氧化碳。
UK-based oil and gas company Harbour Energy and oil major BP on Monday said they had agreed to develop the Viking CCS transportation and storage project in the UK.
Harbour continues as operator of Viking CCS with a 60%, with BP acquiring a 40% non-operated share.
The Viking CCS is located close to the heavily industrialized Humber region, and, according to Harbour, has the potential to meet one third of the UK Government's target to capture and store up to 30 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2030.
The announcement follows the UK Government's recent decision to launch Track 2 of its CCS cluster sequencing process, and its recognition that Viking CCS is one of two leading transport and storage system contenders for this process.
"The delivery of the Viking project could be transformational for the region, potentially unlocking up to £7 billion of investment across the full CO2 capture, transport, and storage value chain over the next decade, creating over 10,000 jobs during construction, and providing an estimated £4 billion of gross value add (GVA) to the Humber and its surrounding areas," Harbour Energy said.
Harbour and BP already share an interest in the Lincolnshire Offshore Gas Gathering System (LOGGS) pipeline which is intended to be repurposed as part of the project.
"This provides a unique, low-cost opportunity to connect customers to the depleted Viking gas fields, which recently had their 300 million tonnes of CO2 storage capacity independently verified," Harbour Energy said.
Viking CCS also has access to a planned new CO2 shipping terminal at Associated British Ports' Port of Immingham, with the potential for shipped CO2 from dispersed emitters elsewhere in the UK and internationally to be transported for permanent storage within the Viking fields.
Subject to the outcome of the Track 2 Cluster Sequencing Process, a final investment decision is expected in 2024. The project could be operational as early as 2027 and potentially store up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030, Harbour said.
