  • Carbon capture and storage

    Carbon capture and storageCarbon capture and storage Overview Store captured carbon Go to section OverviewStore captured carbon Home Search Results Reducing the level of carbon in the atmosphere to safe levels requires significant carbon removal. Captured carbon is stored underground in depleted oil and gas reservoirs. TGT diagnostics can monitor the integrity of storage wells to ensure gas isn’t leaking back out.Store captured carbon Reducing the level of carbon in the atmosphere to safe levels will require both a reduction in emissions and a significant carbon removal programme. In fact, experts indicate that even if we reduce emissions to zero, existing carbon gases need to be removed from the atmosphere to prevent further climate change. Carbon capture facilities of all types are emerging globally, and some involve storing CO2 underground in depleted oil and gas fields.   Storing CO2 underground is similar to methane storage. Well and reservoir integrity is vital to avoid leakage. TGT’s True Integrity products can be used to validate integrity prior to re-purposing existing well systems, and True Flow products can be used to ensure that 100% of the injected gas is reaching the target formations. And just like conventional producing well systems, storage wells can be monitored routinely to ensure integrity compliance. Experts indicate that even if emissions are reduced to zero, existing carbon gases need to be removed from the atmosphere to prevent further climate change.

    Decarbonise with diagnostics

    Article featured in Harts E&P Magazine   Today global warming is an existential crisis facing our planet and all of its inhabitants. According to the latest IPCC report, average global temperatures have increased by +1 C above pre-industrial levels, and while this may not seem like a lot, this rise is already impacting weather systems and society. At +1.5 C, climate feedback loops may lead to permanent runaway climate change. Climate science tells us that if global average temperatures rise more than +1.5 C above pre-industrial levels, the impact could become catastrophic and irreversible.   In the energy industry, we are all aware of the very real impact the climate crisis is having on society and the planet. However, here is the conundrum: Our world needs more energy so that individuals, communities and countries may attain or sustain socio-economic progress. In most situations, this energy comes at a cost, as the way energy is produced as well as consumed is ultimately leading to climate change. While we continue to develop clean energy solutions, the reality is that ~55% of the global energy mix continues to come from hydrocarbons, and it will take years, if not decades, before the balance shifts to cleaner sources. As suppliers of oil and gas, our industry has a vital role to play in taking action today to ensure a low carbon future. Reducing ‘carbon per barrel’ Every barrel of oil or gas equivalent has a carbon overhead because of the energy consumed to produce it, the flaring of gas, and the leakage or venting of methane from well infrastructure. In 2019 upstream activities released ~2.9 GtCO2e, or ~6% of the total annual greenhouse gases produced by human activity. Total hydrocarbon production in that year was ~60 Bboe, resulting in a ‘carbon per barrel’ overhead of ~48 kgCO2e per barrel equivalent. Clearly, this overhead needs to be cut drastically if we are to avoid the dystopian scenario of runaway climate change.   What can operators do to reduce emissions? One answer lies in understanding the true dynamic behavior of well systems with through-barrier diagnostics. Diagnostics that reach beyond the traditional confines of the wellbore and see more can help operators reduce energy use and resulting emissions in a wide range of scenarios. Data source Rystad Energy, EmissionsCube Energy from turbines and diesel engines accounts for more than 70% of the CO2 emissions from upstream operations. Through-barrier diagnostics can help operators identify energy inefficiencies in a number of ways. For example, one of the largest demands on upstream energy comes from powering water injection pumps to maintain reservoir pressure. Well and formation integrity issues can divert water from the target, increasing the amount of water needed and wasting resources. Through-barrier diagnostics can reveal diverted water behind casing, aiding remediation and ultimately reducing injection rates and associated emissions.   Gas flaring accounts for roughly ~30% of upstream oil related CO2 emissions. If the associated gas that is produced alongside oil cannot be utilized, it is burned. The reasons could be technical, regulatory or economic, and even though the industry is working to reduce flaring, it remains a global issue. Through-barrier diagnostics can’t provide an alternative to flaring, but it can help track sources of unwanted gas to aid remediation, enabling operators to limit unwanted gas production and flaring.   At 1.9 GtCO2e per year, methane is the largest contributor to upstream carbon emissions. Methane is a potent and insidious contributor to the greenhouse effect, partly because methane has ~30x the warming effect of CO2, and fugitive leaks from active and abandoned wells can go unnoticed for years. However, a major source of methane is intentional venting. Gas leaks inside the well system can build up in between casings, and this may be vented if the pressure exceeds safe levels. Through-barrier diagnostics can locate the source of gas within the well system, informing remediation decisions and ultimately helping to reduce methane venting. The answer for operators is simple Equipped with the right information, evasive action can be taken to improve energy efficiency, decarbonise operations and reduce emissions. Diagnostics that reveal the full extent of flow and integrity dynamics throughout the well system, from the wellbore to its outer reaches, are essential to achieving this goal. An analysis of the entire well system with through-barrier diagnostics can help oil and gas producers deliver energy through the transition, but with significantly lower environmental impact.

    TGT Diagnostics and FOSINA announce collaboration to provide unique hybrid fibre-optic sensing and data analysis solutions

    Dubai, U.A.E – 25th April 2024   Dubai, 25 April 2024, TGT Diagnostics and FOSINA announced today a collaboration to provide advanced multimode, multiplatform fibre-optic sensing and analysis solutions for oil and gas operators.   Both companies are category leaders in their respective fields and the joint solution will provide oilfield customers with a wider array of previously unavailable diagnostic insights, aiding better informed decision making in managing wells and hydrocarbon reservoirs.   The new hybrid solution uniquely incorporates a multiplatform and multimode approach, pairing FOSINA’s advanced DxS platform with TGT’s ChorusX array acoustics and Cascade modelling systems. DxS technology combines four distributed fibre-optic modes in one modular system; ChorusX delivers high-resolution multipoint acoustic measurements; and Cascade assimilates all acquired data to deliver exceptional diagnostic performance.   “FOSINA are world experts in distributed fibre-optic sensors with an enviable track record in asset monitoring across many industrial sectors,” said Saad Bargach, TGT’s CEO. “Diagnostics that integrate multiple measuring modes are better equipped to reveal and resolve well system behaviour than single mode techniques. The result is exceptional accuracy, clarity and certainty in diagnosis and decision making, which ultimately leads to better asset performance for our customers. Combining FOSINA’s distributed fibre-optic technology with TGT’s expertise in data modelling and analysis creates a powerful diagnostic resource for oilfield operators.”   “Our collaboration with TGT will allow FOSINA to access a wide range of new opportunities thanks to TGT’s well established network of service locations around the world,” added Alexis Constantinou, CEO of FOSINA. “The combination of TGT’s advanced diagnostic systems, interpretation software and skilled analysts together with FOSINA’s cutting edge distributed fibre-optic sensors will bring an unprecedented ability to acquire and interpret invaluable data, enabling operators to act promptly and accurately thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) assisted real-time workflows. This collaboration paves the way for customised and disruptive innovations in the Energy sector, where rapid and informed decision-making is crucial.” About TGT Diagnostics      TGT Diagnostics creates powerful diagnostics that are essential to the delivery of hydrocarbons and energy.
