    Pre-FEED commenced in 2023

OVERVIEW

Angel Carbon Capture and Storage

The Angel CCS Project is a proposed large-scale, multi-user carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub near Karratha in Western Australia. Carbon dioxide is proposed to be aggregated and injected into the produced Angel gas field around 125 km offshore for permanent storage. Notionally, the CCS facility will be able to inject up to five million tonnes a year (5 Mtpa) at start-up, with the opportunity to expand to between 8 and 10 Mtpa, subject to demand.

The Angel CCS Joint Venture, of which Woodside is Operator, has extensive understanding of the Angel reservoir developed over more than 12 years of gas production from the field by the North West Shelf Joint Venture.

The project is currently in pre-FEED.

The Angel CCS Project is proposed to be a hub that can support both domestic and international decarbonisation efforts. It can potentially take CO2 from local hard-to-abate industrial facilities in Western Australia via new pipelines onshore or from international sources delivered via ships.

Collected CO2 would be transported to a central compression facility prior to being transported via subsea pipeline around 125 km offshore and injected into the Angel reservoir for permanent storage.
