Abstract

A method of operating a hydrocarbon production system. The hydrocarbon production system including a gas turbine engine configured to combust hydrocarbon gas produced at the hydrocarbon production system and to provide power for the hydrocarbon production system as a result of the combustion. The method includes combusting produced hydrocarbon gas in the gas turbine engine, capturing carbon dioxide exhausted from the gas turbine engine as a result of the combustion of the hydrocarbon gas, storing the captured carbon dioxide at the hydrocarbon production system in a first set of storage pipes, and transporting the stored carbon dioxide away from the hydrocarbon production system for permanent storage.
