FENCO workshop Amsterdam 28/10/09 G. Moutet

Beyond the current solutions to reduce greenhouse gases emissions :

Existing facilities gas flaring reduction Improvement of existing and new facilities energy efficiency

Development of low carbon alternative energy

Carbon Capture and Storage is considered as a breakthrough technology to be promoted for high CO2 emissions facilities and a promising solution for the O&G industry

Capture technologies are progressing and O&G producers are keen topromote technologies that are adapted to their specific needsLarge CO2 networks implementation similar to large historical oil and gasnetworks developmentFor CO2 storage, there is a significant know-how within the industry for

Site characterizationDrilling and injectivity issues Reservoir simulation, monitoring techniques

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one solution to reduce our CO2 emissions from our facilities

Social Awareness& Acceptance evaluation

CCS awareness low in France (from poll) (6% aware)From the 6% knowing the technology 50% in favor/50% againstAfter explaining the risks (38% in favor..)CCS has strong supports from businesses and public institutions, but acceptability is not given yet.Some organized opposition at national and local level. Some position papers from NGO’s

2006 : Early presentations of the concept

Jan – Oct 2007 : Formal information to the french administration, mayorsMarch 2007: Public meeting RousseNov 2007 : press conference and launch of the dialogue phaseNov – dec 2007: 3 public meetings (Jurançon, Pau, Mourenx)Apr 2008 : meeting with new mayor of JurançonApr – June 2008 : several meetings with small groupsMay 2008 : meeting with all mayors from Lacq to RousseJune – July 2008 : CLIS n°1 et 2July 2008 : working meetings with Jurançon July – Sept 2008 : official public hearingsSept 2008 : CLIS n°3Dec 2008 : well pad open to the public – information letter to project neighboursFeb – March 2009: CLIS n°4, CLIS n°5May 2009 : Official permit to capture, transport, inject and store 120'000 t of CO2June 2009 : CLIS n°6July 2009 : first oxycombustion testJuly 2009 : One local association taking administrative actions against official permitSept. – Oct. 2009 : pre-injection baseline data and detailed procedure still under discussion

Parallel public dialogue and administrative process before formal authorization can be given

A long process for a well known depleted gas field


Management of several interconnected relationship

Official permitting process with the french administration

Scientific advisory committee put in place

Scientific collaboration programs specific to CO2 project

Public dialogue


Creation of a scientific advisory committee: objectives

Assist Total in the science developments for the CCS project in Rousse

Better incorporate technical and scientific stakes, particularly in the storage part

Maximize information flux to the academic world and optimize the opportunity for R&D attached to the CCS demonstration project

Help to detect in advance the potential issues for the society at large in the project

Help to identify early opportunities for scientific collaborations within and beyond the project between actors involved in the CCS development


Scientific collaboration program on Rousse

IFP (French Institute of Petroleum) – TotalPetrophysical properties of caprocks (capillary entry pressure, permeability, diffusion coef., ...)Geochemical monitoring techniquesGeochemical model of CO2 injectionThermodynamics properties of CO2 mixtures

BRGM (French Geological Survey) – TotalGeochemical model of CO2 injectionEffect of natural seismicity on CO2 storage

French National Research Agency (ANR) – CO2 programSentinelle (CO2 storage monitoring techniques development)Gaz Annexes (thermodynamics and thermochemical data of CO2 mixtures)

PhD program with IPGP (French Earth Physics Institute) and Schlumberger (seismicmonitoring, isotopic monitoring, geo biosphere, ...)

University Pau Pays de l'Adour (capillary migration, micro seismic data interpretation …), INERIS (soil gasses measurements), Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris IPGP (micro seismic data interpretation …) …


Public consultation and dialogueObjectives:

Share the opportunity of having such project in that area and provide technical information of the Lacq pilot itselfProvide a better understanding of CCS technology context, issues and therefore promote the CCS technology deploymentHave all questions raised to propose answers at different stepsProvide information on short and longer term scientific follow up (dedicated scientific committee appointed with external experts) and monitoringHelp identifying project possible contribution to local socio-economic developmentDemonstrate transparency and provide access to relevant information

Total's approach

Open dialogue with all stakeholders before permitting processSeveral public meetings open to public in 2007-2008Transparency and access to detailed information, governanceLocal follow up committee with stakeholders during construction, injection and monitoring phase


In order to ensure that the consultation process initiated by Total isuseful to all concerned, and to guarantee a meaningful dialogue with allstakeholders, the Group undertakes to:

• Provide full, honest and clearly expressed information about theproject (characteristics, impact, surveillance and monitoring system, etc.) so as to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and to foster open discussion with all stakeholders.• Execute and report on the project with advice from a number ofindependent scientific and technical experts.• Provide answers to all questions asked by stakeholders or members ofthe public.• Publish minutes of all public discussion meetings as well as a summary of the consultation process, and take these into account in deciding final project details.• Provide stakeholders and general public with regular updates of projectprogress and timetable.

Project information also available onwww.total.com/corporate-social-responsibility


Different levels for public dialog : main issues discussed during the process

Local impacts : Safety issues, housing prices, local image (indirect impact on other activities..) site visual impact, etc..

Regional impacts : regional attractiveness, industrial development, employment, taxes..

Global CCS issues : Cost, scale, additional energy requirements, policy& regulatory issues, public incentives, long term liabilities, risk management, etc..

The main fundamental questions :

- What makes the Rousse field a good candidate for storage?

- What type of technical information can you provide to demonstrate safe and permanent storage ?


Main feedback from the consultation…

Converging issuesUrgency to act on climate changePriority to energy savings and renewable energies Joint willingness to share governanceEconomic opportunity for the local area developmentSafety and risk management as a shared priority for all

Diverging issuesPotential of the CCS within the climate change issueRegulatory issues under mining code

Performed actionsActive contribution to the local public informationRevised landscape integration of the project in the environmentRevised risk management studiesAwareness and creative initiatives of the local competent authorities on the issue of climate change


Some lessons learned…

Set the right level of resources early in the process and perform the full social relationship management analysis to map completely your stakeholders upfront.

The basic rules: asymetric decision making « All participants to public dialog do not take part in the finaldecision but all participants in the decision making take part in the public dialog »

Establish the right level and timing of stakeholder management processLocal and regional vs national, Importance of the proper timing of the public consultation

More efficient to have the technical project people answering the questions

Public awareness on geoscience in general to be improved . Highlight the difference between basic geoscience know how and analysis of knowledge gaps for R&D purposes
