Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage: Finding Opportunities in an Emerging Market
The current state of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is dominated by the supermajors and large midstream companies who can afford to absorb risks in this emerging market. CCUS project developers are forging ahead without the typical commitments between an oil and gas producer and midstream pipeline developer. And, as we argued in our […]
Enverus Intelligent Connections Reveal a Clear Path to Energy’s Future
Saying the energy industry — an industry accustomed to challenge and change — has been rocked over these past few years is probably an understatement. Pandemics, wars, wildly variable oil futures, rapidly changing energy policies and inflation have quickly increased the complexity of one of the world’s largest, most important industries. As the complexity increases, […]
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage: Untangling the Economics From Source to Sink
The petroleum industry has long used carbon dioxide (CO2) for enhanced oil recovery. However, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) has gained significant momentum in relevance thanks to climate change urgency and global alignment on environmental, social and governance (ESG). The CCUS discussion today is less about usage and more about permanent storage. Most of […]
A Midstream Operator’s First Mover Advantage in CCUS
Part 1: Pinpointing CO2 emitters Global alignment on net zero policies, Wall Street sentiment, and large tax credits from the U.S. and Canadian governments for carbon capture investment, are leading to exciting new opportunities for historically midstream service providers. Dominated by the transportation and storage of hydrocarbons, midstream operators are rethinking their business model and […]
