CCUS

• Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) involves capturing man‐made carbon dioxide (CO2) at its sources and storing it permanently underground with potential utilization.

• Projections by IEA show that CCUS will need to account for 6 Gton of CO2

emissions reduction worldwide by 2050.

Why CCUS in Louisiana?

• Stable high‐purity, large‐volume point sources of CO2 implying lower CO2 capture cost

• Existing transport infrastructure• Access to large number of hydrocarbon fields that are depleted or 

near primary depletion• Wealth of data for detailed subsurface characterization• Stacked sand‐shale system enabling simultaneous EOR and storage 

while minimizing risk of leakage because of thick continuous sand and shale layers

• Synergy with gas storage projects that has become essential to manage the excessive volumes of produced shale gas

• Potential for offshore storage to minimize human exposure• Low risk of seismicity
