Abstract – The Paris Agreement established an international historical landmark on climate change aiming at the political responsibility of the countries involved to move for a global energy transition based on economies of low carbon emissions. To achieve these goals towards carbon neutrality, Carbon Capture and Storage (CSS) has been one of the proposed technologies with an expected determinant role for global decarbonisation and greenhouse gas mitigation.
With an extensive knowledge in the different areas of geosciences and engineering, acquired over several decades, the oil and gas industry will benefit from the progressive deployment of CCS techniques on a worldwide scale. This would allow to supply the global energy needs during the coming years and simultaneously consent to a smoother and carbon-free energy transition.
This presentation provides an overview on the advantages of deploying CCS on a large scale, as well as its symbiotic relationship with the oil and gas industry arising from its vast experience, data and well-consolidated techniques that have been developed for the various stages of a project: from the discovery and exploration towards the reservoir development and production/ injection of subsurface resources.
