By storing their carbon emissions underground, industries can limit the effects of CO2 emissions and comply with environmental regulations.
To successfully store CO2 underground, operators need a secure, leak-proof way to transport and inject it into underground wells. During this operation, pipes need to withstand a range of different pressure and temperature. Another concern is CO2 corrosion in presence of water, oxygen and other impurities in the CO2 stream, which could cause a significant corrosive environment for the tubular products.
As new challenges in the energy arise, Vallourec experts are developing products and services to respond to our clients’ needs. We are innovating the durable, corrosion-resistant, seamless tubular solutions capable of transporting and storing CO2. Our monitoring solutions will allow real-time downhole measurements ensuring well integrity and compliance with strict regulations surrounding carbon capture, utilization and storage.
