据OE网站2月28日消息：美国海上石油生产商Talos Energy周五表示，计划在今年申请几个碳捕获项目的许可，这是在墨西哥湾沿岸开发碳捕集中心的关键一步。

随着能源企业寻求减少二氧化碳和其他污染物的排放，Talos正在制定计划，在得克萨斯州和路易斯安那州海岸建设碳捕获项目。该公司已与Storegga Geotechnologies和Freeport LNG合作开发单独的得克萨斯州项目。

Talos首席执行官蒂姆?邓肯在财报电话会议上对投资者表示，“我们认为联邦政府有政治意愿”推进许可。并希望看到这个项目取得成功。

上周，Talos与管道运营商Enlink Midstream签署了一项初步协议，在路易斯安那州进行碳运输和封存。

该项目将重点放在密西西比河走廊上，那里是炼油厂和石化工厂的所在地。它将利用Enlink公司4000英里(6400公里)的现有管道和路易斯安那州塔洛斯河湾碳捕获站。

尽管许多公司都在关注碳捕获项目，但对地下油井永久储存碳的许可一直受到联邦审批程序的阻碍。

路易斯安那州是寻求接管这些许可证执法权的几个产油州之一，此举可能会加快新油井的审批速度。

Talos Energy to Seek Approvals for Several Carbon-capture Projects

U.S. offshore oil producer Talos Energy Inc on Friday said it aims to file permit applications for several carbon capture projects this year, a key step to developing carbon sequestration hubs along the Gulf Coast.

Talos is developing plans to build carbon capture projects along the Texas and Louisiana coasts as energy businesses seek to lower emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. It has joined with Storegga Geotechnologies and Freeport LNG to develop separate Texas projects.

"We think the federal government has political will" to move on the permits, Talos Chief Executive Officer Tim Duncan told investors in an earnings call. "I think we have a government that wants to see this succeed."

Last week, Talos signed a preliminary agreement with pipeline operator Enlink Midstream to pursue carbon transportation and sequestration in Louisiana.

That project would focus on the Mississippi River corridor, home to oil refineries and petrochemical plants. It would utilize some 4,000 miles (6,400 km) of Enlink's existing pipelines and Talos' River Bend carbon capture site in Louisiana.

While many companies are eying carbon capture projects, permits for the underground wells to permanently store carbon have had a history of being slowed by federal approval processes.

Louisiana is among several oil-producing states seeking to take over enforcement authority for those permits, a move that could speed up approvals for new wells.
