据管道&天然气杂志网8月10日报道，bp一位高管周一表示，该公司已开始在得克萨斯州钻探一口评估井，用于其在美国的碳捕获和封存业务。

今年5月，bp表示，其和合作伙伴林德公司计划沿着得克萨斯州海岸开发一处，以掩埋林德公司在休斯敦外的一个制造厂产生的二氧化碳。

bp所属的BPX能源页岩子公司的财务主管Jack Collins在EnerCom会议上表示，公司目前正在利用地下技术和专业知识为我们的美国碳捕获和储存业务钻探一口评估井。他拒绝提供细节。

根据得克萨斯州能源监管机构得州铁路委员会（Texas Railroad Commission）的一份文件，今年4月，BPX获得了该州在加尔维斯顿县（Galveston County）钻探探井的许可。该许可称，该井位于Hall's Bayou Ranch的土地上，并不打算开采或生产碳氢化合物。

Hall’s Bayou Ranch是一家狩猎和钓鱼俱乐部，该俱乐部的发言人没有立即回应置评请求。bp没有立即就许可证中的细节置评。

BP Drills Appraisal Well in Texas for Carbon Capture and Storage

BP has begun drilling an appraisal well in Texas for its U.S. carbon capture and sequestration business, an executive said on Monday.

In May, BP said it and partner Linde planned to develop a site along the Texas coast to bury carbon dioxide produced from a Linde manufacturing site outside of Houston.

"We are currently using our subsurface and expertise to drill an appraisal well, for our U.S. carbon capture and storage business," Jack Collins, finance chief of BP's BPX Energy shale subsidiary, said at the EnerCom conference. He declined to provide details.

BPX in April received state approval for a permit to drill an exploratory well in Galveston County, according to a filing with Texas' energy regulator, the Texas Railroad Commission. Located on property belonging to Hall's Bayou Ranch, the well was not intended to target or produce hydrocarbons, the permit said.

A spokesperson for Hall's Bayou Ranch, a hunting and fishing club, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. BP did not immediately comment on details in the permit.
