Project Profile
Value: $1000 Million
Startup Year: 2012
Location: Eastern Province (SA), Ghawar Oilfield
Reserves: 75 billion barrels remaining
The trial entails capturing 40 million cubic feet (1.1 million cubic metres) per day of CO2 at a gas recovery plant in the Hawiyah zone and piping it 85 km to Uthmaniya for high-pressure injection into oil reservoirs.
It is part of a wider scheme that calls for the onshore processing of 2 billion cubic feet (57 mcm) per day of raw sour gas from the offshore Hasbah field and 500 mcf (14 mcm) per day from onshore Khursaniyah into 1.5 bcf (42.5 mcm) per day of sales gas for delivery to Aramco’s Master Gas System national grid.
