Potential 3rd party

Open

CO2 Capture Sites• CO2 captured by Fortum, at Klemetsrud, and

Norcem, in Brevik, and stored locally at theirjetties

• Storage volume at each site required toaccount for ship arrival every four days plusa buffer for any upsets in the overall chain

• Jetty operations are assumed to be bycapture plant

Ship(s)• One ship per capture

site• 7,500m3 of LCO2 per

ship• Pressure 13-18barg

at equilibriumtemperature(approx. -30 ºC)

Onshore facilities• One jetty for ship mooring• Tank volume based on ship cargo size• Pump system to provide required

export pressure• Evaporator to maintain vapour/liquid

balance in storage tanks duringinjection

• Heater to inject above pipelineminimum temperature

Pipeline• 110km un-insulated pipeline• 12 ¼ inch• Single phase (liquid) CO2

Subsea facilities• Connecting pipeline,

umbilical and well(s)• Water depth ~300m• Connection for future step-

out

UmbilicalConnection

from Oseberg-field providing power

and signal from DC/FO andfluids through umbilicalsystem

Subsea injection well• Injection of CO2 into

reservoir at ~2-3000m depth

• Pressure inreservoir~2-300bar

• Temperature inreservoir ~100 ºC

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) needs to play an important rolein meeting climate goals

IPCCs Special report on Global Warming of 1,5 oC, 2018 “Carbon capture, utilisation and inmeeting climate goals…” storage (CCUS)needs to play an important roleIEA World Energy Outlook 2018

Despite new technology, there has never been any energy transitionTo meet GHG targets, we need ALL solutions that contribute…and we do NOT need those that do not contribute

⋅ Shifts in primary energy supply has takendecades in the past

⋅ …but GROWTH in energy demand more thanoutweigh shift between supply sources

⋅ To meet the 1.5 degree target, all energy usehas to be carbon neutral by 2050!

⋅ This cannot be solved by phasing in renewablesonly - it is currently a small fraction

⋅ We need to use the entire toolbox to have theslightest chance of succeeding

Norwegian processing industry roadmap, 2016

• Aims for double production & negative emissionsin 2050

• Need ambitious, long-term technologydevelopment programs – Process21

• Requires CCS - national effort to build industrial CCSvalue chain should continue

• Requires sustainable biomass – opportunity forNorwegian industry

How we have confidence in CCS and CO2 storage

The operational experience argument“We know from 22 years of operations that CCS works”

The geophysical monitoring argument“We can see where the CO2 is and show it is safely stored”

The regulatory compliance argument“We can demonstrate regulatory conformance”

The underlying physics of CO2 storage in rock pores“CO2 is trapped in microscopic rock pores by the same process that has trapped natural gas formillions of years”

Prosjekt status & future

• Transport, intermediate storage, pipeline• Concept report delivered 1.12.18, now FEED until Q3 201• Geotechnical and seabed surveys done

• Storage• Use permission Nr. 001 given for «Aurora» south of Troll• Confirmation well to be drilled November 2019, subsea equipment is

being built now• Customers

• In dialogue with 15 possible users in 8 european countries• Investment decisions

• Planned for December 2020 (State budget)• Then all emitters have a storage solution – start to capture!

• Operational 2023
