Happy Wednesday!
Well, we hope you have been able
to keep out of the rain today.
Did anyone
happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s OGJ Daily Update Newsletter on
May 26, 2026, their article titled, “CRC starts first CO2 injection at state’s inaugural
CCS project”? In the article, it speaks
on how California Resources Corp. (CRC) is operational for its carbon capture
and storage (CCS) joint venture Carbon TerraVault (CTV JV) in California; its
partner is Brookfield. CRC injected
their first carbon dioxide (CO2) into an injection well at their Carbon
TerraVault I (CTVI) project in Kern County, California.
CRC is injecting CO2 into depleted oil and gas reservoir (26R) at their
Elk Hills Field approximately one mile beneath the surface. CTV JV has CTVI which includes two exhausted reservoirs
26R and A1-A2, and they have a permit for a Class VI Well at 26R, and they obtain
their CO2 from CRC’s cryogenic gas plant. CTVI project is expected to store almost
40 million tonnes of CO2. CRC has applied for eight more Class VI permits, and
they are expecting to store approximately 352 million tonnes of CO2. We will let you know, if we hear anything
else on any other CCS projects around the country! If you would like to read more of the Oil
