and Imperial College London are collaborating in a $70-
million 10-year investment R&D project in new storage
technologies
• One of the operators has initiated an acid gas reinjection
programme - re-injects approximately one million tonnes
of CO2 per year into a saline aquifer formation

7. QP’s vision/ strategyQP’s vision/ strategy
• CCS is recognized as one of the key mitigation
technology to deal with climate change and is
considered as the medium /long term mitigation plans
• Actively supported the inclusion of CCS projects under
CDM in the UNFCCC negotiations
• Main sponsors of many CCS events- Doha Carbon
and Energy Forum-More than 150 experts participated
• Research and Development in specific areas
• Capacity Building
• Process of developing policy, legal and regulatory frame

9. UNFCCC decision of CCS in CDMUNFCCC decision of CCS in CDM
• By decision 10/CMP.7 (At Durban in 2011), the Conference of the Parties
serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP) adopted
the modalities and procedures for carbon dioxide capture and storage in
geological formations (CCS) as CDM project activities
• In the same decision, the CMP requested the Subsidiary Body for Scientific
and Technological Advice (SBSTA) to consider the following:
• (a) CCS project activities which involve the transport of carbon dioxide
(CO2) from one country to another or which involve geological storage sites
that are located in more than one country;
• (b) A global reserve of certified emission reductions (CERs) for CCS project
activities, in addition to the 5 per cent reserve referred to in decision
10/CMP.7, annex, paragraph 21
10. UNFCC- COP18/CMP8 decision on CCS underUNFCC- COP18/CMP8 decision on CCS under
CDMCDM
• 40. Decides that the eligibility under the clean development mechanism of carbon
dioxide capture and storage in geological formations project activities which involve
the transport of carbon dioxide from one country to another or which involve
geological storage sites that are in more than one country and the establishment of a
global reserve of certified emission reduction units for carbon dioxide capture and
storage in geological formations project activities shall be considered by Subsidiary
Body for Scientific and Technological Advice at its forty-fifth session
• 41. Also decides that while carbon dioxide capture and storage in geological
formations project activities which involve the transport of carbon dioxide from one
country to another or which involve geological storage sites that are in more than
one country would merit inclusion under the clean development mechanism,
more practical experience of carbon dioxide capture and storage project
activities in geological formations under the clean development mechanism
would be beneficial;
11. Key Messages / DevelopmentsKey Messages / Developments
• Only modest CCS-specific policy developments have occurred in the past 12 months,
however there has been a rebalancing of climate policy settings for carbon pricing
more generally.
• The level of funding for CCS demonstration projects is increasingly vulnerable and
level of funding support still available will service fewer projects.
• The current mix of policy settings and prevailing regulatory environments are
somewhat supportive of positive investment decisions in CCS demonstration
projects, but policy settings over the medium to longer term are seen to be
largely inadequate to ensure future project viability.

12. ConclusionConclusion
Policy, legal, and regulatory developments are key
factors determining whether CCS will progress as an
important GHG mitigation technique. There is a wide
range of policy, legislation, and regulation that is
relevant to CCS, from international climate change
agreements, through national climate and energy
policy, to project-specific legislation and regulation.
13. Part 2: CCS research in Qatar
Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre
14. • research partnership between QP, Shell, QSTP and Imperial College London
• focus on carbon storage/sequestration not capture techniques
• expand fundamental research
• providing improved tools for carbon sequestration
• build local capacity (currently 5 Qatari PhD students)
• transferring knowledge and technology: QP, Shell and QSTP
OverviewOverview
15. ObjectivesObjectives
Targeted research over 10 years and $70 million
Aim: Improve Oil Recovery and Carbon Storage in Carbonate Reservoirs
The Strategy:
- Characterise & understand the Qatari reservoirs in depth
- Develop state-of-the art reservoir flow simulators
- Use to design optimum CO2 storage and oil & gas recovery processes
- Validate with ‘Field-scale Laboratory’
16. Capacity buildingCapacity building
• Qatari nationals conducting PhD studies at ICL
• QCCSRC establishing a presence in Qatar
• Move of lab equipment to QSTP; start 2013 with move of HPHT interfacial tension rig,
expanding in years after

20. Fundamental Carbonate Reservoir & Seal (Project 1)
• Reconstruct the evolution of rock formations of Qatari reservoirs using outcrop
analogues in Oman.
• Identify predictive geological rules and properties of fractured carbonate reservoirs
and the in situ fluids.
• Emphasising fieldwork and state-of-the-art equipment.
