Abstract
The goals of the WY-CUSP program were to improve estimates of geological CO2 reservoir storage capacity, to evaluate the long-term integrity and permanence of confining layers, and to manage injection pressure and produced brine at the Rock Springs Uplift CO2 storage site. In the process of achieving these goals, a new and substantially more effective strategy and technology has been developed to achieve the most accurate performance assessments and resultant risk reductions for detailed geologic CO2 storage site characterization. The strategies and technologies used to perform the tasks resulting in achieving the project goals are the subject of this work—optimizing CO2 storage efficiency at the Rock Springs Uplift study site and elsewhere. The ultimate mission of the WY-CUSP program, managed by the University of Wyoming Carbon Management Institute—delivery of a certified commercial CO2 storage site in Wyoming that could be used as a surge tank for CO2 utilization—has been accomplished.
