Natural gas reservoirs with high CO2 concentrations as natural analogs for CO2 storage Natural gas accumulations with high CO2 concentrations may be useful natural analogs for the study of long-term CO2 storage in geologic strata if viewed in the context of ?CO2 systems?. Comprehensive evaluation of a CO2 system involves the identification of the following parameters: (1) the source and timing of CO2 generation, (2) the CO2 migration pathways, (3) the timing of CO2 migration, and (4) the locations and nature of CO2 traps and seals. The following three examples are described in terms of CO2 systems: (1) the Ellenburger Fields of West Texas, (2) the Leadville Fields of the Paradox Basin, and (3) the Big Escambia Creek and Flomaton Fields of Mississippi. The USGS is applying this concept to the Indian... Categories: Publication; Types: Citation, Conference Citation; Tags: Elsevier
Development of a Probabilistic Assessment Methodology for Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Storage This report describes a probabilistic assessment methodology developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for evaluation of the resource potential for storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the subsurface of the United States as authorized by the Energy Independence and Security Act (Public Law 110-140, 2007). The methodology is based on USGS assessment methodologies for oil and gas resources created and refined over the last 30 years. The resource that is evaluated is the volume of pore space in the subsurface in the depth range of 3,000 to 13,000 feet that can be described within a geologically defined storage assessment unit consisting of a storage formation and an enclosing seal formation. Storage assessment units... Categories: Publication; Types: Citation

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
