PARIS, Sept. 28 -- In a move it claims is consistent with its sustainable development policy, Gaz de France has signed a cooperation agreement with Germany's Vattenfall Group for a carbon dioxide pilot project in Germany.
Erdgas Erdol GMBH Berlin, GDF's wholly owned exploration and production affiliate, will use CO2 to enhance gas recovery from its nearly depleted Altmark gas field—the second largest onshore field in Europe.
The project will take 15 months to implement and will contribute to GDF's research program on CO2 capture, injection, and storage.
The partners are involved in a number of European CO2 storage projects such as the CO2 injection experiments on K-12-B field in the Dutch North Sea that Gaz de France has carried out the past few years.
