NRG Energy Inc. and JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corp. have completed construction of Petra Nova, the world's largest post-combustion carbon capture facility.
Petra Nova first captured CO2 in late 2016 and has delivered more than 100,000 tons of captured CO2 to the West Ranch field through an 80-mile pipeline. At this level of operation, Petra Nova can capture more than 5,000 tons of CO2 per day. Over the next few years, oil production at the field is estimated to increase from approximately 300 bpd to up to 15,000 bpd using captured CO2.
