Hurricane Seasons, Erosion, Rising Seas, Sinking Land Mass

Air Products walked their asses into a hornets’ nest, though, doing their project under Maurepas! But…the LA DNR and LA DWF approved the project and granted the sequestration agreement. You have to wonder about the politics played there.

I believe Exxon’s is around Intracoastal City or so? You don’t hear a bunch of outrage about that one, though I think their proposed “storage complex” is under lands (marshlands) they own.

Correct. Injecting under their own lands. We welcome them in da parish. As long as they’re spending some $$$.

You sure the sequestration permit was approved?

I’m pretty sure they are drilling test wells under a Class V permit. The actual injection/sequestration would happen with a Class VI permit.

Class VI used to run through the EPA until the state of Louisiana was granted primacy earlier this year. I’m not aware of any Class VI that have been approved by LA DENR. It’s a multi-year process.

Oh I don’t know if AP has their Class 6 approved, but they got the sequestration agreement from the surface owner (State of LA) and started conducting the seismic operations in Maurepas. I believe drilled an initial test well also.

Have any Class 6’s been approved in LA yet? I know several have been filed. Stream out of Calcasieu area is another CCS player as well in LA.

None have been approved. That’s what I was getting at…nothing has been approved yet, for anyone. And it’s going to be a while, I think.

Back to the original thought/post. We are still without power. Bummer.

Same. Centerpoint put out a new map last night that is supposed to give dates and it shows my address restoration date as “pending review” heat hasn’t been to bad with rain but it also slows down the crews. I’m just thankful no damage to my house and my friends/families, with all the trees down we got lucky.

Dang. What part of Houston y’all in?

Dr. Mark Zappi (former Dean of Engineering) has an excellent talk prepared on CCS. He has given it at various functions throughout the state and it has been well received. He is an excellent speaker. People should contact him if they are a looking for a guest speaker at a meeting. Back to the so called oil field subsidies. Many projects would never get performed without the tax deductions associated with them as the economics would not meet requirements. That is less revenue available to the many service companies needed to perform the project. Less employees are then needed and that has a negative economic effect. That is different than a direct cash payment to an entity. The truth is the world will need ALL forms of energy for decades to come. The emergence of the economies in Asia and Africa make it so. That is why major companies invest in research of alternative forms while still exploring for and producing conventional forms.

Same for us, pending review. Grateful, but still wish we had power.
