JOGMEC well engineering activities on CCS projects

Abstract

JOGMEC has been restructured for adopting the necessity to the many requests regarding carbon neutrality. Originally JOGMEC has been treating “Oil and Gas Upstream and Stockpiling”, “Metal Mining”, “Domestic Geothermal Development” and “Coal Mining” recently, “Carbon Capture and Storage（CCS）”, “Hydrogen and Ammonia” and “Wind Power Generation” have been recently added to the function of JOGMEC.

Regarding CCS, JOGMEC has been able to treat the CCS projects which have no relation with upstream development after the restructuring.

JOGMEC is getting active for the CCS projects from the technical point of view. JOGMEC has established the CCS guideline in Japanese language and released the website “Clean Future Energy”, which explains the recent technologies, including CCS.

JOGMEC is also involved in some CCS projects domestically as well as overseas. JOGMEC is keen to evaluate the well integrity for the upcoming CCS projects.

We would like to introduce well engineering activities which are related to CCS projects.
