About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Aramco captures CO2 from its Hawiyah natural gas liquids plant and injects it into the Uthmaniyah oil reservoir for enhanced oil recovery and sequestration. This is one of the Middle East's largest operational CCS projects. Evidence: "Today, we have the capability to capture and process 45 million standard cubic feet of CO2 at our NGL plant in Hawiyah. The captured CO2 can be piped 85 kilometers and injected into the Uthmaniyah oil reservoir." — https://www.aramco.com/en/what-we-do/energy-innovation/advancing-energy-solutions/carbon-capture-utilization-and-storage
