Shell, as operator of the Athabasca OilSands Project (AOSP), announced the successful start of production of a 100,000 barrels per day expansion of its oilsands operations in Canada. — Marvin Odum, Shell Upstream Americas Director and President of Shell Oil Company.
The 100,000 barrels-per-day expansion takes upgrading capacity at Scotford to 255,000 barrels-per-day of heavy oil from the Athabasca oilsands. The Scotford Upgrader processes oilsands bitumen from the Muskeg River Mine and Jackpine Mine.
Chevron’s focus on optimizing the thermal management of the Kern River field has resulted in a steady drop in the steam:oil ratio (barrels steam water per barrel oil), resulting in improved economics of the field even with slowly declining production. Source: Chevron. Here, Chevron has reduced its steam:oil ratio (i.e.,
Quest is a fully integrated CCS project, meaning it will capture, transport (pipeline) and store carbon dioxide. Shell submitted the application on behalf of the Athabasca OilSands Project, a joint venture among Shell Canada Energy (60%) Chevron Canada Limited (20%) and Marathon Oil Canada Corporation (20%).
The provincial government of Alberta and the federal government of Canada will invest C$865 million (US$822 million) in a large-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project in the Athabasca oilsands. Quest is a fully integrated CCS scheme, meaning it would capture, transport, inject and store CO 2.
The carbon capture process at the Scotford oilsands upgrader will capture about 35% of emissions. cm) pipeline to injection wells north of Shell Scotford and permanently stored more than two kilometers (1.24 Quest would be the first application of CCS technology for an oilsands upgrading operation. Earlier post.)
Quest is designed to capture and safely store more than one million tonnes of CO 2 each year—equal to the emissions from about 250,000 cars. Te Storage zone is a formation called Basal Cambrian Sands (BCS). Quest was made possible through strong collaboration between the public and private sectors aimed at advancing CCS globally.
