ISO Development of CCS & EOR Storage Standards
13th Annual (2015) EOR Carbon Management Workshop
Midland, TexasTuesday, December 8, 2015
Kipp Coddington, Director
The Carbon Management Institute @ UW
ISO Standards Under Development
20 Participating, 8 Observing Countries
Some Key Issues for the CO2-EOR Storage Standard
Scope – e.g., project boundaries, natgas plants, nature of CO2
Definitions – e.g., “storage,” geologic attribute into which “storage” occurs
How do you demonstrate storage? – the role of MRVRole of risk assessmentDoes EOR ever “transition”?Role, if any, of GHG lifecycle assessments Jurisdictional differences
• Do & don’t have EOR currently• Different GHG regulatory regimes• Different oil & gas regulatory regimes
Why CO2-EOR Interests Should Care
ISO standards not binding per se, but …
Generally persuasive worldwide
US: National Technology Transfer & Advancement Act; OMB Circular A-19 (see, nist.gov/standardsgov)
How The CO2-EOR Standard Could Impact Key Unresolved CCUS Issues in the US
How do you “prove” storage?o EPA: Class II but subpart RR opt-in including MRV (sec. 111(b) rule)o No federally approved MRV plans yet
Impact on state EOR “accounting” statutes
California Air Resource Board’s ongoing effort to develop GHG LCA-based methodology for CO2-EORo Stanford Study: 2016o Accounting Methodologyo Low Carbon Fuel Standard pathwayo AB32 cap-and-trade
The Carbon Management Institute @ UW: Generating Foresight and Quantifying Impacts on Energy
Applied CCUS research to (i) advance the state-of-knowledge, (ii) minimize regulatory uncertainty, and (iii) support projects Cutting-edge applied knowledge and know-how on wide-ranging sub-surface
aspects of CCUS, including CO2-EOR Strong competencies in geology, geophysics, petrology, hydrogeology, reservoir
engineering and economics, including integration across classical technical boundaries
International bandwidth -- substantial experience in China (Ordos Basin) Campus-wide collaboration (petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, other)
Support of UW’s land-grant mission and Wyoming’s mineral & natural resources
International leadership on over-the-horizon energy issues (ISO, other) Techno-economic assessments Policy monitoring & analyses Student and public education
Carbon Management Institute Overview
Applied geologic expertise across numerous disciplines (geology, geophysics, petrology, hydrogeology, reservoir engineering)
Focus on subsurface issues: Production; CCUS/CO2-EOR storage; Rare Earth Elements from coal byproducts; use of produced water; related topics
Expanding focus: CO2 capture; Energy-water nexus; Carbon management policy & regulation; GHG lifecycle assessments; related topics
