Pre-drilling Site Assessment: One Earth Energy
- Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL (United States)
The Illinois Storage Corridor project will drill a test well in Ford County, IL, near the One Earth Energy facility in Gibson City, IL. Lithologic, geomechanical, and geophysical data collected from samples testing and an extensive geophysical logging suite will be used to determine the feasibility of the geologic sequestration of 50 million tonnes or more of injected carbon dioxide at this location. The primary target reservoir and caprock to be investigated for the Illinois Storage Corridor project are the Mt. Simon Sandstone and Eau Claire Formation, respectively, which together constitute a storage complex that has already been successfully used for natural gas storage in east-central Illinois and for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide in south-central Illinois. The Lower Mt. Simon, which includes a high- porosity and -permeability arkosic layer, is being targeted as the primary storage zone. Regional maps of this unit indicate that the Lower Mt. Simon is expected to have excellent reservoir characteristics and high net thickness at the drill site.
