EnLink Midstream, BKV commence first carbon capture, sequestration project

BKV Corporation and EnLink Midstream announced the initial injection of carbon dioxide waste generated from EnLink’s Bridgeport natural gas processing plant, and neighboring operations, at BKV’s Barnett Zero carbon capture and sequestration facility, marking a major step toward reducing CO2 emissions associated with BKV’s natural gas production in north Texas’ Barnett Shale. EnLink will transport the natural gas produced by BKV in the Barnett to its natural gas processing plant in Bridgeport, Texas, where the CO2 waste stream will be captured and transported to a BKV facility, compressed, and then sequestered via BKV’s nearby underground injection control well. “We are thrilled to officially commence our Barnett Zero Project and begin our newest chapter – commercial CCS operations,” said Chris Kalnin, Chief Executive Officer of BKV. “BKV has an actionable path to net-zero Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from its upstream operations by the early 2030s and is committed to achieving net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions from its upstream operations by the end of 2025. Executing at Barnett Zero and building our CCS business is an important part of this journey and our mission to deliver a carbon-sequestered natural gas product to the world.”
