Gorgon Carbon Capture and Storage: Insights and Lessons Learned

Includes a Live Web Event on 06/22/2023 at 8:30 AM (EDT)

Gorgon CCS has stored more than 7.5 Mtonnes of CO2 since start up in mid-2019 and is currently operating at 51 kg/S of CO2 making it the largest dedicated CCS project presently in operation. The ultimate capacity of the system will be considerably higher. David Fallon and Robert Root will discuss some of the key lessons and insights from Gorgon CCS performance so far, and discuss potential application to other projects.

This webinar is categorized under the Reservoir technical discipline.
