Petrobras Santos Basin Pre-Salt Oil Field CCUS - CCUS Projects
The Petrobras Santos Basin Pre-Salt Oil Field CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) project in Brazil captures CO2 produced during oil extraction and injects it into geological formations for long-term storage. Located offshore in the Santos Basin, this technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions and enhances oil recovery. It is one of the world's largest CCS projects.
