UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING
This project will provide detailed characterization of two deep saline aquifers, both of which are present in two huge geologic structures in southwest Wyoming. The carbonate and sandstone saline aquifiers lie at depts below all USDW and at pressures/temperatures for which CO2 will be supercritical. These storage formations are overlain by a series of sealing caprocks. Preliminary data from research funded by DOE-NETL and the State of Wyoming indicate that the Rock Springs Uplift can store 26 bilion tons of CO2 and the Moxa Arch can store 16 billion tons of CO2. These structures are adjacent to several of the state's largest sources of anthropogenic CO2. There are therefore high-priority targets for geological sequestration of CO2. A comprehensive description of these aquifiers will support the measurement and validation of reservior characteristics to create baseline assessments that could directly support future industrial CCS injection operations in the region/storage formations.
