Exxon Mobil Plans Wyoming Plant to Develop Carbon Capture and Storage. Jackson Hole Star Tribune, May 6, 2008. "Exxon Mobil plans to spend more than $100 million to build a plant in Wyoming to continue developing and testing technology that could make capturing and storing carbon dioxide more affordable and open up vast new sources of natural gas. The... company said Monday it will build the plant near LaBarge, [Wyoming] beginning this summer. Startup is scheduled for late 2009, and testing is expected to take place over a couple of years... The CO2 capture technology comes to Wyoming at a time when the oil industry here is scraping for every bit of CO2 available. CO2 can be injected into old oil fields to sweep remaining oil to production wells. CO2 flooding accounted for 5.7 million barrels of oil in Wyoming in 2007, according to the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission."
