According to the EPA’s CO2 injection well permit tracker, Bayou Bend CCS applied for permits for the six wells as part of its proposed Bayou Bend CCS Hub in Jefferson County, Texas. The hub would encompass 140,000 acres both on-shore and off-shore along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Bayou Bend is a joint venture among U.S. oil giant Chevron, French multinational company TotalEnergies, and Equinor, an oil company majority-owned by the Norwegian state. The companies’ proposal “has the potential to reduce emissions from regional industrial facilities,” the project website states.
