Project will be the world’s largest CCS hub in the Kingdom upon completion
Wood, a global leader in consulting and engineering, has completed the front-end engineering and design (FEED) scope for the first phase of Aramco’s Accelerated Carbon Capture and Sequestration (ACCS) project in Saudi Arabia, expected to be the world’s largest carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) hub, upon completion.
With an ambition to further reduce carbon emissions from its upstream operations, the first phase of the ACCS project intends to capture carbon emissions from Aramco gas plant facilities near Jubail, on the Eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, as well as from third-party emitters.
Geological storage
Wood designed the greenfield dehydration and compression facilities and the large pipeline network, including a 200+ kilometre dense-phase carbon dioxide pipeline for the ACCS project, which aims to transport 9mn tonnes per annum (MTPA) of emissions and sequester it within onshore geological storage by 2027.
“We are at the forefront of designing the future of energy by leveraging our 20 years of experience in carbon capture engineering to bring the ACCS project to life, supporting Aramco as our long-term client on its energy security and transition ambitions,” commented Craig Shanaghey, Executive President-Projects, Wood.
The FEED has been delivered by around 200 engineers from across Wood’s global Projects and Consulting business units, the press communication concluded.
