Abstract
CO2 capture by an onsite capturing plant and the subsequent storage of CO2 in
a suitable storage site can in some cases be an alternative to electrification.
Different from large CO2 storage projects involving several million tonnes stored
annually, the CO2 formed at a single offshore production site amounts to at
most a few hundred thousand tonnes per year. Thus, solutions optimal for large
scale storage may not be the best for smaller amounts of CO2. The present
work, which is a case study within SP7 of the LowEmission Centre, addresses
various options for deposition of small amounts of CO2 captured from the gas
turbine power plant on a single offshore petroleum production plant.
