Happy Tuesday!
Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas
Journal’s Daily Update Newsletter on June 18, 2024, their article titled, “Piñon Midstream secures EPA approval for CCS operations at
Dark Horse”? The article was on how the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the monitoring, reporting,
and verification (MRV) plan for Piñon Midstream’s carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project which has two-acid
gas injection (AGI) wells at its Dark Horse Treating Facility in the Delaware
basin in New Mexico. Piñon Midstream’s
Class II sequestration AGI wells reach to approximately 3.4 miles below the
surface which is well below where the area’s oil and gas producers drill, and
the area’s water table is located. The
two wells are expected to store approximately 250,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and approximately 110,000 tonnes of hydrogen sulfide
(H₂S) a year. The company’s MRV approved plan has brought them
a step closer to qualifying them for the recently published 45Q tax credits,
and they have already received their NSR air permit from the State of New
Mexico. They recently completed increasing
the size of their facility. We wish Piñon Midstream luck
on their expanded Dark Horse Treating Facility! In recent news, the EPA has been rumored to
have been backlogged, so this approval is good news for those waiting for
approval of their CCS projects. If you
