  1. CO2 Capture & EOR Potential For: Wyoming Pipeline Authority July 25, 2006 By: PLASMA, Inc. Rich Schuller PLASMA, Inc. 58 West Quartz Butte, MT 59701 406-782-7756

  2. Presentation • PLASMA CO2 Capture Technology ready for Commercial Application: • Ultra High Sulfur & Nitrogen recovery from solid sulfurous fuels – Air Fired Emissive Plant. • Captures high quality CO2 from existing power plant and new power plants – Non-Emissive or No GHG. • California Governator & Legislature proposing CO2 reduction. • BP announces IGCC to make a H2-fired Cogen and CO2 sequestration. • PLASMA has formed a Consortium proposing a CO2 Capture Retrofit Project for a Power Station & near-by Sequestration for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) for SoCal. • Giant CO2 Geological Sequestration potential in Northern Rocky Mountains (Wyoming, Colorado & Montana). • Wyoming CO2 Capture & Sequestration Potential. • London CO2 Carbon Credit trading exchanges. • Conclusion

  3. PLASMA Emissive Technology Superior • Sulfur Removal superior any other techniques @ 99.9% sulfur removal. • High NOx removal 70 to 85%. • Emissions equal or lower than coal Gasification. • Emissions equal or lower than gas fired GTCC. • Sulfur & NOx removal has over 5,000 hours of operating experience at 25 & 50 MWt scale. • Oxy-firing operating experience at 40 to 50% O2 for over 5,000 hours. • Significant part of PLASMA’s CO2 Capture Technology or Zero Emission (no GHG).

  4. Non-Emissive CO2 Capture Technology Reactions Coal/Coke,S,N2 + O2/CO2 + K2CO3 CO2 + H20 +K2SO4+KNO3 CO2 Recycle CO2 Captured No Stack gas H2O Steam to EOR Coal Fuel + K2 PC Boiler Steam to Power > 98% O2 Solids(K2SO4 & KNO3 & Ash) Captured CO2 – ultra low SOx <10 ppm & very low NOx

  5. Geological CO2 Sequestration with an Economic Incentive • Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR): • Permian Basin commercial operation. • Wyoming& Colorado commercial operation. • Weyburn Saskatchewan commercial operation. • US DOE said Huge EOR Potential in 10 oil Basins in USA with 89 billion barrels increase in reserves. • Wyoming huge EOR Potential. • Coal Bed Methane (CBM) the only field study @ Burlington Resources in San Basin Basin: • CO2 enhances Methane production – 3 volumes CO2 produces 1 volume methane. • N2 enhances Methane production – 4 volumes N2 produces 1 volume methane. Wyoming huge Enhanced CBM potential (has any field work been completed, since last year?)

  6. California Proposing to Limit CO2 Emissions In April 06 the California Governator proposed and Legislature began the development of a legislative package to limit and control the CO2 emissions in the State. They are proposing a “Cap and Trade” and the proposed cap levels for power generation is shown in the Table below: Sources: http://www.climatechange.ca.gov/ CAPUC & CACEC

  7. DOE CO2 EOR Study for SoCal Major Oil Basins & Potential Power Plants for CO2 Capture Idle PG&E Kern Plant Morro Bay • DOE states the fields needing • The largest CO2 volumes are: • OXY’s Elk Hills • Coalinga • AERA’s Ventura Ave Field • San Miguelito • San Fe Springs • Dominquez CO2 Pipelines Mandalay Ormand Breach Alamitos Huntington Beach BP Carson IGCC California needs at least 4.5Bcf/Day of CO2 for EOR shown above. 65% of CO2 is needed in between Ventura to Santa Maria & Southern SJV. LA Basin has a 35% CO2 requirement.

  8. California Oil Companies are moving on CO2 Capture & CO2 Sequestration • BP announces in February 2006 that is plans to spend a $1 billion to make H2 and Capture CO2 from coke gasification at their Carson refinery. • BP will build a Integrated Gasifier Combined Cycle (IGCC) producing electric power. • ~300 MMscf/d H2 will be made and combusted in gas turbine combined cycle ~500 MWe gross power. • CO2 is recovered from water-shift reactor. • 4 million tonnes CO2 will be captured and sequestered at a 90% recovery rate from coke. • Occidental Petroleum is conducting CO2 sequestration for EOR study for BP. • PLASMA formed a consortium with two Major Oil Companies and currently has not made a public announcement of CO2 Capture Retrofit Project and expected to be announced soon.

  10. Target Generation Station – SoCal Initially Unit #1 CO2 Capture Retrofit CO2 Capture/Day : Unit # 1 - 95 MMcf/d Unit # 2 - 119 MMcf/d including MHD CO2 Capture/Yr: Unit #1 – 1.6 MM mt/y Unit #2 – 2.0 MM mt/y Total - 3.6 MM mt/y

  11. PLASMA’s CO2 Capture Retrofit Project Progress • PLASMA has formed a CO2 Capture Project Consortium with 2 Major Oil Companies. • MOU’s for both Power Output & Captured CO2. • CO2 will be compressed to liquid and supplied via new pipeline to oil production fields. • Have secured a Major Bank as project advisor. • Starting “Lease with Purchase option” discussions with current owner. • Strong support from CA Energy Commission (CEC). • Will inspect and run performance tests at the target plant in August/September.

  14. DOE 10 Basin Study CO2 for EOR – Feb. 06 Study conducted by Advanced Resources International – Houston, TX

  15. Summary of DOE’s CO2 EOR Study USA Total – Feb 06 Notes: (*) PLASMA calculated 4,000 cf/Bbl CO2 & respective power plant capacities. (**) Permian current CO2 is from natural geological sources.

  16. How much oil can be produced from CO2?? • DOE says at least 89 billion barrels of increased reserves up to as much 430 billion Bbls. • Assuming CO2 Capture happens instantly – assuming a 25 year recovery rate on 89 billion Bbl then the new additional daily production would be 10.8 million Bbls/Day. For a 30 year recovery rate would be then be 9 million Bbls/Day. • USA currently imports about 9 million Bbls/Day. • Now this is Real ENERGY INDEPENDENCE !! Furthermore, it reduces the CO2 GHG emissions, as it has been linked to global warming.

  18. Suggestions for Wyoming Last year and repeated again today! • Unitization of fields would simplify the credit issue for those who sign up for CO2 to be used for EOR. • Finance like a “Limited Improvement District”. Where every one does not have to sign up at once, but there is a rebate to the early signors for others capital costs paid by early signors. • Do CO2 field pilot floods studies for Coal Bed Methane for major coal basins with CBM potential. • Do N2 field pilot flood studies for pressure displacement of normal natural fields and CBM coal structures. • Extend WY Pipeline Authority to Williston Basin in Montana & North Dakota. • (New) Why propose IGCC for CO2 Capture Technology for WY Infrastructure Authority RFP? Feds have similar funds available for other technologies!

  19. Conclusion • Message to Wyoming’s favored son VP Dick - “Time to reduce CO2 Emissions… to produce more domestic oil” • Message to Al Gore – “We got the message… It is time to reduce CO2 emissions” • CO2 Capture & Geological Sequestration has substantial economic value while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG). • Good for Wyoming & USA!!
