Talos Energy Makes Landfall to Tackle CCS Projects

摘要

Roughly two years ago,Gulf of Mexico producer Talos Energy took a strategic leap of faith and started picking up acreage both onshore and off with the mindset of injecting-not extracting-carbon.And,thus,were born a slew of developing carbon capture and storage(CCS)projects:the flagship Bayou Bend CCS offshore of Port Arthur,Texas;River Bend CCS in Louisiana;Coastal Bend CCS near Corpus Christi,Texas;and a point-source project with FreeportLNG in Texas.As potential pioneers in offshore CCS with Bayou Bend,Talos and partner Carbonvert found themselves in the enviable position of being approached by Chevron to join the team,said Robin Fielder,Talos’executive vice president for its low carbon strategy and the chief sustainability officer.Chevron came onboard last year as a 50 project owner and,in March,the expanded team added to Bayou Bend's 40,000 offshore acres with 100,000 onshore acres between Houston and Port Arthur.Fielder sat down with Hart Energy for an exclusive interview on CCS topics.
