A test site and anthropogenic CO2 source have been selected for a large-scale demonstration of carbon dioxide separation, capture and sequestration in southwestern Alabama as part of the Southeastern Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership’s (SECARB) Phase III initiative. The James M. Barry Generating Plant, a major coal-fired power plant in southwestern Alabama, is the selected anthropogenic CO2 source for the project. The proposed storage test site is located in the Southeast Unit of the Citronelle oil field, which lies at the crest of the Citronelle Dome about 10 miles to the west of the power plant. The proposed storage site appears to be suitable for deep underground injection of CO2. An evaluation of the storage capacity and geological integrity of the proposed injection and confining intervals is a critical step in the assessment of the test site. This evaluation is important for several reasons, including project planning, permitting of injection wells, and the design and execution of injection and monitoring operations. Accordingly, the Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA) will conduct a detailed geological evaluation of the Southeast Citronelle Unit that emphasizes the acquisition, interpretation, and analysis of seismic reflection data. The goals of this work are to characterize the geologic structure of the area, verify that no faults are present, determine and analyze the seismic expression of sandstone and shale bodies in the Paluxy target interval, and to assist in the Underground Injection Control (UIC) permitting process.
