3 Reasons to Partner with Trigen Energy for Your Next CCS Project
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects can be incredibly complex and involve numerous land-related challenges—both above and below the earth’s surface. From acquiring pore space rights to obtaining right of way for CO2 pipelines and engaging community stakeholders, there’s a lot to think through, plan, and manage.
Working with an experienced land services company like Trigen Energy can help ensure the success of your CCS project. Here are three reasons why.
1. Geology Expertise
Inquiring about a landowner’s openness to a traditional or renewable energy project is pretty straightforward. Most people have seen an oil rig, windmill, or solar park and could imagine how such a project would fit—or not fit—on their land. Carbon capture and storage projects are different. Sure, CCS projects involve injection wells and pipelines like oil and gas projects. That said, most of the complexity—and potential confusion for landowners—pertains to what occurs below the earth’s surface. We’re talking about injecting and permanently storing (“sequestering”) carbon dioxide in rocks that are miles underground. For some landowners, that can seem more like science fiction than reality.
Trigen Energy has the in-house geological expertise to translate abstract concepts into easily understandable information for landowners. Our leadership team includes Mark Henning, a skilled geologist who holds multiple geological degrees, has taught geology courses at Indiana University, and has spent his career providing technical leadership in the drilling and operation of injection wells across the United States, both onshore and offshore. Mark leverages these experiences to help landowners gain clarity about CCS and, ultimately, ensure successful projects for developers.
2. Injection Well & Pipeline Experience
Few land agents have ever owned and operated injection wells or pipelines. At Trigen Energy, we’re backed by leaders with decades of combined energy sector experience—including Class II injection well and pipeline ownership.
First-hand involvement with the transportation and storage of oilfield products allows us to better serve our CCS clients and provide customized solutions that go beyond standard land services. Simply put, we can relate to the pipeline and well-related challenges that you’re facing, and we’re ready to help you overcome them.
