据Oil & Gas Journal网站2月19日消息 位于阿德莱德的桑托斯有限公司预计，该公司在9月份将对其在南澳大利亚穆姆巴拟议的碳捕获与封存（CCS）项目做出最终投资决定（FID）。
该公司首席执行官Kevin Gallagher在公司年终业绩报告中提到了这一目标日期，并指出桑托斯正在等待南澳州政府和清洁能源监管机构制定适当的碳交易计划。
他说，穆姆巴项目的FID正在等待支持CCS项目认证的方法声明，在此之前的FID将消除该项目有资格获得碳信用的可能性。
该项目的目标是每年从穆姆巴天然气厂的天然气流中分离出170万吨二氧化碳。二氧化碳将被重新注入库珀盆地的相同地质构造中，这些地质构造是该地区油气资源的储集层。
2020年10月，向枯竭的库珀盆地储层注入100吨二氧化碳的最终回注试验成功完成。
Kevin Gallagher表示，库珀盆地在未来50年内每年可吸收2000万吨二氧化碳。

Santos targets September FID for Moomba CCS project
Santos Ltd., Adelaide, is expecting a final investment decision (FID) for its proposed carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at Moomba in South Australia by September.
The company’s chief executive officer, Kevin Gallagher, mentioned the target date as part of a company year-end results presentation and noted that Santos is waiting for the South Australian government and the Clean Energy Regulator to establish an appropriate carbon trading scheme.
FID on the Moomba project is awaiting the methodology statement that will support accreditation of CCS projects, he said. An FID before that would eliminate the possibility of the project being eligible for carbon credit.
The project aims to capture 1.7 million tonnes of CO2 that is currently separated from the natural gas stream at the Moomba gas plant each year. The CO2 will be reinjected into the same geological formations in the Cooper basin that reservoir the oil and gas resources in the region.
A final reinjection trial of 100 tonnes of CO2 into depleted Cooper basin reservoirs was successfully completed in October 2020.
Gallagher said the Cooper basin can take up to 20 million tonnes/year of CO2 for the next 50 years.
