🌊 Imagine the ocean as a giant sponge: off the Chinese mainland coast, China’s first offshore CO2 storage project has soaked up over 10 million m³ of CO2, equal to planting 2.2 million trees! 🌳
Operated by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), this groundbreaking initiative has run smoothly for over 15,000 hours with a peak daily injection of 210,000 m³. 🤖 It’s the kind of innovation Tony Stark would be proud of – harnessing tech for a cleaner planet.
Located at the Enping 15-1 platform in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, about 200 km southwest of Shenzhen, it uses upgraded compressors and a gas treatment system to ensure precise, safe, and efficient CO2 injection. By targeting layers within a 20 cm wellbore, it boosts oil recovery while keeping carbon locked away. 💨🛢️
“Our layered injection and precision control system not only improves oil displacement but also safeguards the environment,” says Wang Lin, production supervisor at the Enping 15-1 platform.
Over the next decade, this field is set to inject over 550 million m³ of CO2, potentially increasing crude output by up to 200,000 tonnes. This milestone paves the way for large-scale offshore carbon storage across the Chinese mainland and beyond. 🚀
For news enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, students, and explorers alike, this project highlights the power of innovation in driving a low-carbon future. Stay tuned for more green tech breakthroughs on amigonews.net! 🌍✨
