## Project summary

The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) lists the Brown Pelican CO2 Sequestration Project at Shoebar Ranch in Ector County and identifies three injection wells: BRP CCS1, BRP CCS2 and BRP CCS3. The RRC entry reports status “Approved”; it describes an amendment changing the maximum surface injection pressure and injection rate for those wells. The page separately states that Texas has applied for, but has not yet been granted, EPA Class VI primacy. It describes authorization to inject as something that may follow well construction and additional requirements, and does not confirm project-specific authorization to inject. Oxy’s stated 9.11 MMT over 12 years is planned injection, not an achieved volume; the stated source is the nearby Stratos DAC facility.

## Evidence limits and unknowns

- The supplied project entry does not state construction or start-up timing, procurement status, budget, or whether a supplier solicitation exists.
- Project-specific EPA approval and authorization to inject are not confirmed in the captured page.

Current purchasing availability: unknown.
Source-dated plans do not establish current progress or available supplier packages.

## Activity
Oxy plans to inject 9.11 million metric tons (MMT) over a 12-year injection period. The stated CO2 source is the Stratos Direct Air Capture (DAC) facility near the Brown Pelican CCS Facility; this is a plan, not a reported achieved injection volume.

## Location
Shoebar Ranch, Ector County, approximately 20 miles southwest of Odessa, Texas. Listed wells: BRP CCS1 (31.769743, -102.730903), BRP CCS2 (31.757690, -102.729692), and BRP CCS3 (31.768079, -102.713033).

## Regulatory
The RRC project list reports status “Approved” and identifies Permit No. 59502; the approved amendment changed the maximum surface injection pressure and injection rate for all three wells. Separately, the page states that Texas has applied for, but has not yet been granted, EPA Class VI primacy. It says authorization to inject may be granted following well construction and compliance with additional requirements. The page does not confirm project-specific EPA approval or authorization to inject.
