PCOR Fort Nelson

Project Overview

The Fort Nelson project is one of several CO2 sequestration demonstrations the Plain CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership has planned for Phase III, the Deployment Phase. This project will utilize approximately 1.6 million tonnes of CO2 per year, captured from one of the largest gas-processing plants in North America, Spectra Energy's Fort Nerlson Natural Gas Processing Facility. The CO2 will be compressed and transported in a supercritical state via pipeline to the target injection location. While a specific saline formation and injection location have not yet been chosen, it is anticipated that the target zone will be a brine-saturated carbonate rock formation located in north-eastern British Columbia.
