Abstract
The strategy adapted by the WY-CUSP team to accomplish their primary goal involved the following steps:
1.
Inventory and prioritize the potential CO2 storage reservoirs and storage sites in Wyoming, and select the storage reservoir(s) and site to be targeted.
2.
Determine sources of available data for the targeted priority storage reservoir(s) and site.
3.
Perform preliminary numerical simulations of a variety of CO2 storage scenarios at the selected site, utilizing available data.
4.
Design a new, robust data-acquisition program (3-D seismic survey and test well logging) that would provide the WY-CUSP team with the ability to attack the key barriers to accurate site characterization (pressure management and 3-D heterogeneity of petrophysical parameters of storage reservoirs and seals).
5.
Develop a formation brine production and treatment program and facility that would result in required pressure management during commercial-scale CCUS on the selected site—a facility that functions as a profit center, not a punitive element, during commercial geologic CO2 sequestration.
6.
Simulate a variety of potential CO2 storage scenarios on the selected site using realistic reservoir models that include, among other elements, the 3-D heterogeneity of petrophysical parameters, in order to provide significant uncertainty reduction in both performance assessment and risk analysis.
7.
Accomplish the primary goal of the WY-CUSP program—to provide all essential information, data, interrelations, evaluations, and modeling results required by government regulations in order to permit construction of a commercial CO2 storage facility on the RSU.
