Supporting Louisiana's evolving energy industry through professional land research, property-rights acquisition, and landowner coordination.
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from industrial facilities or other sources. Captured CO₂ may be used in industrial applications or transported for injection into suitable deep underground geological formations.
Louisiana's existing oil and gas industry, industrial facilities, pipeline infrastructure, and geological resources have made the state an important location for proposed carbon management developments.
Ruffin Energy applies its traditional oil and gas land expertise to these projects by assisting with subsurface ownership research, pore-space agreements, pipeline easements, and surface access.
Carbon capture is being explored by industries including natural gas processing, refining, chemical manufacturing, fertilizer production, and power generation. These projects may help industrial facilities manage emissions while supporting continued operations and infrastructure investment.
Carbon storage projects may require agreements for underground pore-space rights, surface access, and pipeline easements. Depending on property ownership and negotiated terms, these agreements can create opportunities for landowner compensation.
Carbon dioxide is captured from a facility or other source, transported to an appropriate location, and injected into a suitable underground formation for storage. Storage projects require technical evaluation, regulatory oversight, and monitoring.
Research property records and identify parties who may hold relevant subsurface storage rights.
Assist with landowner outreach, negotiations, and documentation for proposed underground storage agreements.
