Carbon Site Characterization Project
the objectives of this project are to:
- evaluate the formation’s potential and regional significance as a carbon storage site for commercial sources
- improve regional datasets
- refine best practices for geologic characterization
additionally, this project will:
- assess the capacity, injectivity, containment system, leakage pathways, risk assessment, well bore management, and produced fluid management to determine suitability for carbon sequestration activities
- including exploration and analysis of formation waters
- demonstrate that saline formations below the Energy Park are viable and safe targets for sequestration of a large fraction of the region's CO2 emissions
