DALLAS, Feb. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE:
ENLC) (EnLink) announced today that ExxonMobil and EnLink are
exploring opportunities for EnLink to support ExxonMobil's carbon
capture and sequestration (CCS) efforts beyond the southeast
Louisiana Mississippi River Corridor into several additional Gulf
Coast areas.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Gulf
Coast contains one of the highest concentrations of industrial
carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States, with over 215 million
metric tonnes per year (Mtpa) generated today in and around the
Houston Ship Channel, the Mississippi River Corridor, Lake Charles and southwest Louisiana, and the Port Arthur and Beaumont, Texas, areas combined. EnLink and
ExxonMobil are committed to providing cost-effective and efficient
CCS solutions to CO2 emitting companies and industries
in each of these areas, and the two companies continue to develop a
strategic relationship to serve these customers.
"EnLink and ExxonMobil are actively pursuing opportunities to
develop safe, reliable, and cost-efficient CCS solutions," said
Jesse Arenivas, EnLink Chief
Executive Officer. "EnLink brings to the table decades of expertise
building, owning, and operating midstream assets with a
customer-focused mindset, which gives ExxonMobil greater
flexibility and more options to meet the needs of industrial
CO2 emitters. EnLink is fast becoming a leader in
providing safe, low-cost CO2 pipeline transportation
services, and we're excited to expand the discussion with
ExxonMobil to additional high-emitting Gulf Coast areas."
"We continue to build on our industry-leading CCS solutions to
help customers reduce their current emissions and see EnLink as a
key part of providing the most efficient CO2
transportation," said Dan Ammann,
President of ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions. "We've worked closely
on CCS transportation solutions since our initial agreement in 2022
and look forward to continuing our collaboration with EnLink to
help reduce carbon emissions across the Gulf Coast."
With its acquisition of Denbury, ExxonMobil is evaluating
the most market-competitive CCS solutions across the Gulf Coast.
During that evaluation, EnLink and ExxonMobil have agreed to
reassess the Pecan Island Area
project's near-term role, with the expectation that other joint
opportunities may be prioritized ahead of the Pecan Island project.
