Abstract
In August 2015, Shell Canada began sustained, commercial-scale operation of the first-ever CO2 capture facility at an oil sands bitumen or heavy oil upgrader in the world, along with a dedicated pipeline and geological storage of the carbon dioxide at a nearby, sole-purpose site. This project is located at its Scotford Complex near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The C$1.35 billion Shell Quest project was conceived in 2008. By the end of the second year of operation in December 2016, Shell Canada and its project team achieved many firsts that are outlined in this brief paper summarizing the poster presented at GHGT-14, along with key successes of the project.
