Abstract

Abstract: TOTAL conducts the first French pilot to demonstrate the technical feasibility and reliability of an integrated CO<subscript>2</subscript> capture, transportation, injection and storage scheme from a boiler at a 30MWth scale. This pilot entails the conversion of an existing steam boiler into an oxy-fuel combustion unit, oxygen being used for combustion rather than air to obtain a more concentrated CO<subscript>2</subscript> stream easier to capture. Then CO<subscript>2</subscript> stream is compressed and conveyed via pipeline to the Rousse depleted gas field, 29 kilometers away, where it is injected into a deep carbonate reservoir. CO<subscript>2</subscript> injection started earlier 2010 as all the proper official authorizations have been given. An appropriate monitoring plan is conducted to check the site integrity and storage performance. A preliminary baseline, conducted one year before the start of the injection is used as reference to detect any anomalous behavior which could be linked to any CO<subscript>2</subscript> leakage. The aim of this paper is to present, the main lessons learned from the monitoring of the CCS pilot site of Lacq, after more than two years of injection and a year pre-injection baseline, in terms of monitoring-models offsets, security and risk analysis.
