Major oil and gas firm Petronas has teamed up with ADONOC and Storegga to assess carbon dioxide (CO2) storage opportunities in Malaysia, including the potential construction of multiple carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants.
The trio will specifically place a focus on the Penyu basin, offshore Peninsular Malaysia. Here, the group will explore CO2 emissions storage capabilities of saline aquifers, geological formations consisting of water permeable rocks that are saturated with salt water, called brine[1].
It is thought that Malaysia’s deep saline aquifer reservoirs should allow for the development of large-scale, permanent CO2 storage solutions.
