Business Wire
- Baker Hughes will provide proven gas turbine and compressor
technology
- Moomba carbon capture and storage (CCS) project aims to be one
of the largest in the world
- CO2 to be stored permanently and safely in depleted natural gas
reservoirs
- Demonstrates key enabling technology required for future blue
hydrogen production
Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR), an energy technology company, has
been awarded a contract with Santos, a leading natural gas producer
in Australia, to supply turbomachinery equipment for the Moomba
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project (“Moomba CCS”). The
project will serve a gas processing plant and permanently store 1.7
million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually in depleted natural gas
reservoirs in the onshore Cooper Basin in South Australia. Baker
Hughes will provide gas turbine, compressor and heat recovery steam
generator (HRSG) technologies to compress the carbon dioxide
(CO2).
The contract follows a 35+ year history of Baker Hughes
providing technology and services to Santos for its operations,
including turbomachinery and offshore equipment and services.
Moomba CCS further progresses the companies’ relationship as Santos
evolves its own operations across the energy transition and
leverages Baker Hughes’ comprehensive portfolio of carbon capture,
utilization, and storage (CCUS) solutions. Specifically, Baker
Hughes will provide PGT25+G4 aeroderivative gas turbine, MCL
compressor, and BCL compressor technology, which will enable Santos
to compress CO2 captured at Moomba CCS for transportation and
subsequent injection for storage.
Baker Hughes’ broader CCUS portfolio features advanced
turbomachinery, solvent-based state-of-the-art capture processes,
well construction and management for CO2 storage, and advanced
digital monitoring and industrial asset management solutions.
“This project exemplifies the range of solutions that energy and
industrial companies are seeking across the energy transition and
how collaboration is needed to lower emissions and enhance
efficiencies from their operations,” said Rod Christie, executive
vice president of Turbomachinery & Process Solutions at Baker
Hughes. “Through our advanced turbomachinery technology, we are
supporting Santos to decarbonize natural gas while providing an
opportunity to utilize CO2 as a valuable input for producing
reliable energy with advanced blue hydrogen.”
The contract for Baker Hughes’ technology lays a foundation for
Santos’ future objectives of decarbonizing natural gas, lowering
emissions and ultimately producing hydrogen fuel using stored CO2.
A final investment decision on the Moomba CCS project was reached
in November 2021.
