Gorgon trouble for Chevron

摘要

US supermajor Chevron is facing issues at its carbon capture and storage (CCS) project associated with the Gorgon liquefied natural gas development in Western Australia, resulting in additional carbon dioxide being vented into the atmosphere. Independent news outlet Boiling Cold this week published a document it obtained under freedom of information laws, which revealed the pressure management system at the world's largest CCS project was currently off line. In the annual report from Chevron, which was published on 30 September last year, the operator claimed the injection system was "operating reliably". However, it revealed delays had been experienced with the commissioning of the pressure management system.
