Source: In Salah; Northern Africa
Currently there are eight large scale integrated CCS projects in operation.
In Salah CO2 Injection - Northern Africa
In Salah is a fully operational onshore gas field with CO2 injection. CO2 is separated from produced gas and reinjected in the producing hydro carbon reservoir zones. Since 2004 about 1 Mt/a of CO2 has been captured during natural gas extraction and injected into the Krechba geologic formation at a depth of 1,800m.

Sleipner CO2 Injection - Norway
Sleipner is a fully operational offshore gas field with CO2 injection. CO2 is separated from produced gas and reinjected in a saline aquifer above the hydrocarbon reservoir zones.

Snøhvit CO2 Injection - Norway
Snøhvit is a fully operational offshore gas field with CO2 injection. The LNG plant is located onshore. CO2 is separated from produced gas and injected in a saline aquifer below the H/C reservoir zones offshore. This liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant captures 0.7 Mt/a of CO2 and injects it into the Tubåen sandstone formation 2,600m under the seabed for storage.

Weyburn Operations - Canada
The oil field is currently operating while injecting CO2 to increase oil production. This project captures about 2.8 Mt/a of CO2 from a coal gasification plant located in North Dakota, USA, transports this by pipeline 320 km across the Canadian border and injects it into depleting oil fields where it is used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

Salt Creek Enhanced Oil Recovery - United States of America
Anadarko will build a pipeline to inject CO2 in existing oil field for enhanced oil recovery. Anadarko has injected 5.12 billion cubic metres of carbon dioxide into the field as part of a project to tease more oil from the field and in the process sequester a greenhouse gas that would otherwise have to be discharged into the atmosphere.

Enid Fertilizer - United States of America
The Enid Fertilizer plant sends 675,000 tonnes of CO2 to be used for EOR. The pipeline and wells are operated separately by Anadarko Petroleum.

Sharon Ridge EOR - United States of America
CO2 from Mitchell, Gray Ranch, Puckett and Turrell gas processing plants is transported via the Val Verde and CRC pipelines for EOR (incl. Sharon Ridge EOR field).

Rangely Weber Sand Unit CO2 Injection Project - United States of America
ChevronTexaco, the current owner/operator of the Rangely Weber Sand Unit, has been injecting carbon dioxide into the Rangely Oil Field since 1986 to increase the total volume of recoverable crude oil.
