Reutilization and Conversion of Oil and Gas Infrastructure Report Overview

In an accelerated energy transition environment, it is important to evaluate the potential reuse of either abandoned or operating oil and gas infrastructure, which can ultimately lead to huge savings on the CCS chain, hydrogen cost, and renewable fuels. Retrofitting oil and gas infrastructure has the potential to save millions of dollars and accelerate the transition to clean energy. Depleted oil fields can be repurposed for long-term CO2 storage by adapting them to the production well allocation, like Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects.

Reutilization and conversion of oil and gas infrastructure market research report provides a brief about the reasons to retrofit existing oil and gas infrastructure, description of the typical cycle of CCS for CO2 geological storage.

Upstream Infrastructure: Carbon Capture and Storage

Factors to consider when re-using/adapting upstream infrastructure for carbon capture and storage (CCS):

• Infrastructure close to mainland CO2 sources would be more attractive.
• Smaller infrastructure might be advantageous at early development.
• Formation depths above 2,500 ft would be advantageous to keep CO2 in the dense phase.

Carbon Capture and Storage – Top Companies Incurring on Geological Storage

The major companies incurring on geological storage are Equinor, ExxonMobil, Summit Carbon Solutions, Oxy, drax, Stanos, Prairie State, Enchant Energy, and Calpine.

Midstream Infrastructure: Pipeline Reuse for CO2 and Hydrogen Transport

Pipeline retrofitting for Hydrogen transport in Europe: Gas pipeline, hydrogen pipeline, NGL pipeline, oil pipeline, and product pipeline are the major segments within the pipeline length distribution in Europe. Gas pipeline accounted for the highest share, followed by Hydrogen pipeline and NGL pipeline.

Pipeline retrofitting for CO2 transport in Europe: Offshore and onshore are the major segments in the pipeline length distribution in Europe. Within the offshore segment a significant percentage of re-usability of CO2 can be seen, unlike the onshore segment.

Downstream Infrastructure: Crude Refinery Conversion/Co- processing

Major Oil and Gas companies has been retrofitting existing refineries mainly to produce renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel are Marathon, HF Sinclair, Pertamina, Preem, Eni, Imperial, PBF, Phillips 66, North Atlantic, and TotalEnergies.

Crude Refineries Converted and Co-Processing: Active and Upcoming Projects: Some of the major upcoming active and projects are Martinez Renewable placed in the United States, Musi Renewable placed in Indonesia, Chalmette Renewable placed in the United States, and Strathcona Renewable placed in Canada, among others. The most important refinery retrofitting projected will be placed in North America.
