Live Oak CCS Hub

The Live Oak CCS Hub, proposed by Live Oak CCS, LLC, is located west of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, within the Central Louann salt rift basin along the northern Gulf of Mexico. The project seeks Class VI permits for up to eight injection wells (LO-01M, LO-01F, LO-02M, LO-03M, LO-04F-M, LO-05M, LO-06M, and LO-06F) with a planned 30-year injection period beginning around 2026 and extending through 2057, followed by a 50-year post-injection site care period to 2106. Injection start could vary by one to five years depending on CO₂ capture and pipeline readiness. The project targets two primary storage systems: Lower Miocene Injection Complex (LMIC): Lower Miocene sandstones with the Middle Miocene and Anahuac formations as confining zones. Oligocene Frio Injection Complex (OFIC): Frio sandstones bounded by the Anahuac (upper) and Vicksburg Shale (lower) formations.
