XOM received Class VI Well permits from state authorities for their Rose CCS project in Southeast Texas.

Happy Tuesday! 

Last October we blogged on how ExxonMobil (XOM) received their Class VI Well Permits for three injection wells from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for their Rose CCS Project (See our Blog for details).  Then, we blogged earlier this year on XOM starting a CCS facility in Louisiana.  Then, last November, Texas Railroad Commission received authority to approve Class VI Wells from the U.S. EPA (See our Blog for details); they too have approved permits for XOM.  Let’s dig in.

Did anyone happen to see the Houston CCS Alliance’s Newsletter on September 15, 2026, they had an announcement titled,” BREAKING NEWS: Texas Railroad Commission Approves ExxonMobil’s Rose CCS Project”?  In the announcement, the Texas Railroad Commission’s (RRC) issued a permit for a Class VI injection well for ExxonMobil’s Rose CCS Project.  ExxonMobil’s Rose CCS Project is going to be developed in Jefferson County, Texas.  The project is expecting to have three CO2 storage wells, and a CO2 monitoring system which will have three water monitoring wells and 1 in-zone monitoring well, and it will have an 18-mile CO2 pipeline.  Now the Rose CCS project has its Class VI permit, it can move into the construction phase.   We wish ExxonMobil luck developing their Rose CCS Project.   If you would like to read more of the announcement, please click the link: Texas Railroad Commission Approves ExxonMobil's Rose CCS Project » Gulf Coast CCSAlliance.
