The Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, through the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), is collaborating with the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) on site characterization; modeling and simulation; risk assessment; public outreach; and monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA) activities for the Aquistore project. The Aquistore project is a carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) project situated near the town of Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada, and the U.S.–Canada border. This project is managed by PTRC and will serve as buffer storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the SaskPower Boundary Dam CCUS project, the world’s first commercial-scale postcombustion CCUS project from a coal-fired electric generating facility. To date, an injection well and an observation research well (~500 ft apart) have been drilled and completed at the Aquistore site, with injection anticipated to begin in 2014. Using a combination of site characterization data provided by PTRC and independently acquired information, the PCOR Partnership has constructed a static geologic model to assess the potential storage capacity of the Aquistore site and provide the foundation for dynamic simulation. The geologic model and the results of the predictive simulations will be used in the risk assessment process to help define an overall monitoring plan for the project and to assure stakeholders that the injected CO2 will remain safely stored at the Aquistore site.
