泰国Banpu公共公司本月宣布，已与路易斯安那州官员签署了一项新协议，建设碳捕获和封存（CCS）项目。

如果该项目取得成果，这将是该公司在美国推出的第三个项目，该公司正努力在 2030 年代每年减少 15 至 1600 万吨二氧化碳当量 (CO _{2 e)。}

Banpu 是泰国最大的煤炭开采公司，也是东南亚国家的主要电力供应商。该公司还是 BKV Corp. 的多数股东 (96%)，该公司是德克萨斯州北部 Barnett 页岩最大的致密气生产商，该页岩因 20 多年前第一个商业开发的非常规地层而闻名。

Banpu 承诺于 2022 年初在其第一个 CCS 项目 Barnett Zero 上投入高达 3400 万美元，并于当年晚些时候开始钻探注入井。该公司表示，将从其天然气生产设施中提取CO ₂，​​目标是每年地质封存21万吨CO _{2 e。}

该能源公司去年还表示，将斥资 14 至 2400 万美元建设第二个 CCS 项目，名为 Cotton Cove，该项目同样涉及从天然气生产废水中捕获 CO _{2 。}Cotton Cove项目的目标是年注入量高达8万吨，预计于2024年底开始运营。

这两个 CCS 试点项目都将涉及测试一种新的模块化技术，Banpu 表示希望该技术能够迅速扩展到巴尼特的更多天然气加工基地。

第三个拟议项目名为 High West，将涉及建设从当地排放源捕获 CO _{2的设施。}Banpu 没有具体说明 High West 的注入量目标，也没有详细说明项目范围中包括哪些类型的排放源。

Banpu 报告去年花费了超过 900 万美元来减少巴尼特的排放。该公司表示，资本计划帮助测试新的电气化生产部件，取代燃气动力气动仪器，并使用更多的可再生能源为现场作业提供动力。

Banpu 通过其 BKV 子公司在 Barnett 拥有超过 458,000 英亩的土地以及近 7,000 个生产天然气井和凝析油井，平均产量为 773 MMcf/D。该公司还拥有宾夕法尼亚州 Marcellus 页岩 37,000 英亩的权利，该地区的日产量为 139 MMcf/D。

Thailand’s Banpu Public Company announced this month that it has signed a new agreement with officials in Louisiana to construct a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.

If the project comes to fruition, it will be the company’s third to launch in the US, where it is trying to abate from 15 to 16 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent (CO₂e) per year in the 2030s.

Banpu is Thailand's largest coal mining company and a major power supplier in the Southeast Asian country. The firm is also the majority owner (96%) of BKV Corp., which is the largest producer of tight gas in the Barnett Shale in north Texas, which is known for being the first unconventional formation to be commercially developed more than 20 years ago.

Banpu committed to spending up to $34 million on its first CCS project, called Barnett Zero, in early 2022 and began drilling injector wells later that year. The company said it will pull CO₂ from its natural gas production facilities with a goal of geologically sequestering 210,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year.

The energy company also said last year it would spend between $14 and $24 million on a second CCS project called Cotton Cove, which will similarly involve capturing CO₂ from its natural gas production waste stream. The Cotton Cove project will aim for an annual injection rate up to 80,000 tonnes, with operations slated to begin by late 2024.

Both CCS pilots will involve testing a new modular technology that Banpu said it hopes will quickly scale up to more of its natural gas processing sites in the Barnett.

The third proposed project, called High West, will involve building facilities to capture CO₂ from local emissions sources. Banpu did not specify an injection volume target for High West or elaborate on what type of emissions sources are included in the project scope.

Banpu reported spending more than $9 million last year to reduce its emissions in the Barnett. The capital program helped test new electrified production components, replace gas-powered pneumatic instruments, and use more renewable energy to power field operations, the company said.

Banpu, through its BKV subsidiary, holds more than 458,000 acres in the Barnett and almost 7,000 producing gas and condensate wells, with an average production of 773 MMcf/D. The company also owns rights to 37,000 acres in the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania, where its daily output is 139 MMcf/D.
