Questerre Energy Corp. has filed an application with the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resource in Quebec to test a reservoir for carbon storage potential.
The operation will consist primarily of an injectivity test to gather data on both the safe rate of injection and storage potential. Questerre identified the storage formation earlier this year after studying its proprietary seismic and well data. The company holds the exclusive right to explore for storage reservoirs over one million acres in Quebec. Plans are under way for a 2-D and 3-D seismic survey over areas to identify additional storage reservoirs.
In a release Sept. 24, the company’s president and chief executive officer, Michael Binnion, said the test will be the first of its kind in Quebec and that the company hopes to work with academic and other groups looking at studying carbon storage potential in Quebec.”
