DNV DNVGL-RP-F104 PDF

Scope and application 

This document applies to:

— rigid metallic pipelines and risers

— pipeline networks

— new onshore and offshore pipelines for transportation of fluids containing overwhelmingly CO₂

— conversion of existing pipelines for transportation of fluids containing overwhelmingly CO₂

— pipeline transportation of:

— anthropogenic CO₂ in the context of CCS

— anthropogenic CO₂ in the context of combined CCS and EOR

— CO₂ captured from hydrocarbon stream — CO₂ from natural (geological) sources for the purpose of EOR

— CO₂ from other sources.

— pipelines as defined in the referenced standards, see [1.5.1]

— transport of CO₂ in gaseous-, liquid and super critical phases

— extent of pipeline system as described in [1.6.1].

Guidance note:

In this document, the term ‘overwhelmingly CO₂’ refers to definitions given in the London Convention, the OSPAR convention and the EU CCS Directive. The actual percentage of CO₂ and other components present in the CO₂ stream shall be determined based upon technological and economical evaluations, and appropriate regulations governing the capture, transport and storage elements of a CCS project.

This document does not address how to secure public awareness and acceptance on a local/national level. This is, however, an important issue that needs to be managed carefully as an integral part of the pipeline development.
