Adnoc drills world first carbonate saline aquifer CCS well

Adnoc has completed drilling on the world’s first CO2 injection well in carbonate saline aquifer.

The Abu Dhabi state-backed company announced the progress via social media.

It plans to spend $15 billion over a number of years to cut its carbon intensity by 25% by 2030. Adnoc intends to reach 5 million tonnes per year of carbon capture by that year.
