Beach Energy announced on 17 October the successful commissioning and start-up of the Moomba Carbon Capture and Storage project.
All facilities, including five injection wells, CO2 dehydration and CO2 pipelines have been brought to capacity. The project is targeting capture and storage of 1.7 million tonnes of CO2 per annum in depleted Strzelecki and Marabooka field reservoirs.
Final Investment Decision for the project was announced in November 2021 and 60% completion was reached in May 2023 with the arrival of the compressor and turbine.
Moomba CCS is the third CCS project in Australia and follows the Otway International Test Centre and the Gorgon CCS project.
