White Castle

The White Castle CCS Project, proposed by Harvest Bend CCS LLC, is located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana, and is designed to capture, transport, and store CO₂ emissions from industrial facilities in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge corridor. The project plans to use three injection wells: WC IW-A No. 001 and WC IW-B Nos. 001 and 002—to inject CO₂ into the Miocene sands formation, where Harvest Bend has secured pore space rights across approximately 10,000 acres. Harvest Bend CCS secured a large, contiguous pore-space position from a single landowner. The project was originally advanced by River Bend CCS LLC, which later changed its name to Harvest Bend CCS LLC. TotalEnergies subsequently acquired a stake alongside Talos Energy, before Storegga moved to full ownership of the project, consolidating the hub under its U.S. low-carbon portfolio. The wells are designed to inject a combined 1 million metric tons of CO₂ per year (MMT/yr), equivalent to about 53.3 MMscf/d, with an anticipated 20-year operational life. The cumulative total storage capacity is estimated at ~20 million metric tons over the project life, positioning White Castle as a key Gulf Coast hub-scale sequestration site with direct access to regional industrial emitters.
