SECARB Phase III Anthropogenic Test - Schedule
6
The CO2 capture unit at Alabama Power’s (Southern Co.) Plant Barry became operational in 3Q 2011.
A newly built 12 mile CO2 pipeline from Plant Barry to the Citronelle Dome completed in 4Q 2011.
A characterization well was drilled in 1Q 2011 to confirmed geology.
Injection wells were drilled in 4Q 2011.
100 to 300 thousand metric tons of CO2 will be injected into a saline formation over 2 to 3 years beginning in 2Q 2012.
3 years of post-injection monitoring.

•! Approx. 12 mi (19 km) to the SE Citronelle Unit in Citronelle Oil Field
•! Right-of-Way •! 1" mi (2 km) inside Plant Barry property •! > 8 mi (13 km) along existing power corridor •! 2 mi (3 km) undisturbed forested land •! Permanent cleared width 20 ft (6 m) •! Temporary construction width 40 ft (12 m)
•! Right-of-Way habitat •! 9 mi (14.5 km) of forested and commerical

•! Applicable regulatory standard: US Depart of Transportation, 49 CFR Part 195 —Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline
•! Welding - API 1104 & B31.3 (plant section)
•! 4-inch (10 cm) pipe diameter •! X42/52 carbon steel pipe •! MOP – 2,220 psig (flange limitation) •! Normal operating pressure: 1,500 psig
(10.3 MPa) maximum •! Buried average of 5 ft (1.5 m) with

•! Directional drilled 18 sections of the pipeline under roads, utilities, railroad tracks, tortoise colonies, and wetlands. (30 to 60 ft deep)
•! Trenched remaining sections •! Corrosion protection •! Fusion Bond Epoxy coated pipe •! “Jeep” pipe for coating damage; manually
coat joint welds and scratches •! Impressed current cathodic protection •! AC mitigation for overhead powerlines
using copper wire •! ACVG survey after construction to check
again for coating damage •! Caliper tool run to check for dents caused
by rock or equipment

CO2 Pipeline Design and Construction
xx
•! Denbury pipeline purity requirement is: •! > 97% dry CO2 at 115ºF (46ºC) •! < 0.5% inerts (incl. N2 & argon) •! < 30 lb water per 1MMSCF •! < 20 ppm H2S
•! Impurities affect and sometimes amplify pipe fracture toughness requirements •! Hydrogen & N2 problematic
•! Toughness requirements for this project met by standard X42 pipe. Other projects require added wall thickness, modified pipe chemistry and/or crack arrestor installation.

CO2 Pipeline and Measurement Commissioning
•! Pipeline was commissioned March 8, 2012 •! At custody meter station there is the capability of
taking samples of CO2 stream. •! Samples will be taken periodically for permits
and GHG reporting. •! Sample obtained for Class V injection permit
showed 99.6% pure CO2. •! Major impurities were
•! Nitrogen (2700 ppm) •! Line was filled with N2 to pressure test line
then swept with CO2 prior to commissioning •! Oxygen + Argon (880 ppm).
•! Lab impurity?
xx
•! CO2 Specific Design Requirements •! Valve seals – Accepted: Nylon,
peroxide cured Buna N (HBNR-90/95), ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM)
•! Valve packing – Teflon •! Low temperature materials for
valves used for blowdown service only.
•! Mainline valve station similar to natural gas with blowdowns for maintenance.

•! CO2 measured with senior orifice meter and gas chromatograph
•! Custody measurement meets AGA Report #3, Parts 1 & 2
•! Accuracy and mechanical issues with turbine, Coriolis, & ultrasonic meters •! Turbine – CO2 is dry – damages
moving parts. CO2 viscocity range can be problematic
•! Coriolis – Accuracy not as good as orifice
•! Ultrasonic – CO2 absorbs and distorts signal
•! Communication using SCADA and satellite.
•! Check meter installed for pipeline leak detection and verification of injected volumes
