Abstract |
Storage in the Forties Sandstone in the Forties 5 aquifer in UKCS quadrant 22 in the Central North Sea. 9 well, phased development of Forties 5 Site 1 from an unmanned platform and subsea tie-back, supplied with CO2 from St. Fergus via a 24” 217km pipeline. Final investment decision in 2025 and first injection in 2030. Capital investment of £284 million (PV10, 2015), equating to £0.9 for each tonne stored. The store can contain the 300Mt from the CO2 supply profile of up to 8Mt/y over a 40 year period. Good subsurface data but further appraisal drilling required. |
