CO2 Rich Gas to a Deep Saline Formation
Acid gas (approximately 70% carbon dioxide [CO
2] and 30% hydrogen sulfide [H
2S])
from a major natural gas processing plant in northeastern British Columbia will be compressed to a
supercritical fluid and injected more than a mile down into a deep rock formation that contains very
salty water (saline formation). Results from this long term commercial scale demonstration will
determine the Best Practices that will help unlock the major sequestration potential of the saline
formations in the region and elsewhere.
