CCS world projects: K12B
Project Overview
CO2 from natural gas separation is being re-injected into the same gasfield at a depth of 4000m. Monitoring is being carried out by CO2REMOVE.
In the Dutch sector of the North Sea, approximately 150km north-west of Amsterdam is the K12-B gas field. This gas field has been producing natural gas with relatively high CO2 content, since 1987. Until recently, the CO2 has been separated and released into the air. The project commenced in 2004. 60, 000 tonnes of CO2 (January 2009)has been re-injected back into the same reservoir. The project is investigating the feasibility of injecting and storing CO2 in a depleted gas field. Monitoring and verification is being carried out by CO2REMOVE. The second stage of the project will look at potential enhanced gas recovery from the same reservoir. The cost of injection is € 5-10 / Tonne CO2.
