CO2 Sequestration:Confidential Client 

Situation:  Norwest is currently consulting for a confidential power generation company on plans to build a coal-fired IGCC power plant.

Solution: Project objectives are to identify the best CO2 sequestration options for the plant as well as conduct a comprehensive evaluation of oil reservoir candidates considered suitable for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) or pure sequestration. 

Result:  Phase 1 of the project included a comprehensive evaluation of possible sinks in a regional basis resulting in the selection and ranking of candidates in terms of available storage capacity and the possibility of combining storage and CO2-EOR.  Future phases will include specific geological and engineering assessments of pre-selected potential sinks as well as support for regulatory filings.
