(Project Concluded in July 08, 2020)
The main goal of the project is to develop a methodology for the construction of salt caverns based on salt dissolution in order to capture, storage and separate CO2, CH4 and other gases under high pressure. The main deliverables are the studies/simulations regarding the construction, monitoring, risk management and CO2/CH4 separation during the entire lifespan. The secondary deliverables are logistic and environmental studies considering the best strategy for cavern cluster management and the design of a floating platform customized for the proposed mission in order to handle the associated gas generated on the topside of FPSO units.
