Poster presented at Mastering the Subsurface Through Technology Innovation and Collaboration: Carbon Storage and Oil and Natural Gas Technologies Review Meeting, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 16–18, 2016. To improve our understanding of the key geologic factors that influence CO2 storage resource estimates in unconventional formations and to better define the efficiency factors associated with each key parameter, the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) recently began a collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Hitachi High Technologies to develop analytical techniques to better understand and quantify the distribution of clay minerals, organics, porosity, and fracture characteristics in representative shale and tight rock samples. A key goal of this project is to more efficiently identify and quantify key features that could affect CO2 storage in unconventional formations.
