The computed tomography (CT) facilities and the Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Morgantown, West Virginia, were used to characterize core from four wells that represent coal resources across Illinois. The primary impetus of this work was to capture a detailed digital representation of the core from the Brush Creek Quarry, E. Miller/Hanna City, Morris, and Weatherford Wells. The collaboration between the NETL and the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) enables other research entities to access information about this potential carbon ore, rare earth, and critical mineral resource play in the Illinois Basin.
