Title: A Field Demonstration of an Active Reservoir Pressure Management through Fluid Injection and Displaced Fluid Extraction at the Rock Springs Uplift a Priority Geologic CO₂ Storage Site for Wyoming

Abstract

Here, the University of Wyoming is partnered with Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Battelle, and Water system Specialists Inc. to carry out a DOE funded brine extraction storage test (BEST) project at the Rock Springs Uplift (RSU), southwest Wyoming. The BEST projects are envisioned using a two-phased approach. The initial phase is to predict and monitor the differential pressure and injected fluid movement, and manage changes in formation pressure, and to develop a test-bed for deploying treatment technologies for extracted brines.

Integrated characterization of CO₂ storage reservoirs on the Rock Springs Uplift combining geomechanics, geochemistry, and flow modeling

Technical Report Kaszuba, John ; Alvarado, Vladimir ; Campbell, Erin ; ...

This project improves understanding of the effects CO₂ injection and storage on geomechanical, petrophysical, and other properties on two potential reservoirs, the Madison Limestone and Weber Sandstone, at the Rock Springs Uplift, southwest Wyoming. Rock physics studies, laboratory experiments, and computer simulations were employed. Two groups of rock samples were prepared, one aged with formation brine and the second aged with CO₂-saturated formation brine and subsequently used for geomechanical, geochemical, and petrophysical testing. Rock physics studies provided a facies classification to discriminate among different lithologies and to investigate the feasibility of predicting petrophysical properties using seismic inversion.

Site characterization of the highest-priority geologic formations for CO₂ storage in Wyoming

Technical Report Surdam, Ronald C. ; Bentley, Ramsey ; Campbell-Stone, Erin ; ...

This study, funded by U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory award DE-FE0002142 along with the state of Wyoming, uses outcrop and core observations, a diverse electric log suite, a VSP survey, in-bore testing (DST, injection tests, and fluid sampling), a variety of rock/fluid analyses, and a wide range of seismic attributes derived from a 3-D seismic survey to thoroughly characterize the highest-potential storage reservoirs and confining layers at the premier CO₂ geological storage site in Wyoming. An accurate site characterization was essential to assessing the following critical aspects of the storage site: (1) more accurately estimate the CO₂more »« less

Optimizing accuracy of determinations of CO₂ storage capacity and permanence, and designing more efficient storage operations: An example from the Rock Springs Uplift, Wyoming

Technical Report Bentley, Ramsey ; Dahl, Shanna ; Deiss, Allory ; ...

At a potential injection site on the Rock Springs Uplift in southwest Wyoming, an investigation of confining layers was undertaken to develop and test methodology, identify key data requirements, assess previous injection scenarios relative to detailed confining layer properties, and integrate all findings in order to reduce the uncertainty of CO₂ storage permanence. The assurance of safe and permanent storage of CO₂ at a storage site involves a detailed evaluation of the confining layers. Four suites of field data were recognized as crucial for determining storage permanence relative to the confining layers; seismic, core and petrophysical data from a wellbore,more »« less

Maximization of permanent trapping of CO{sub 2} and co-contaminants in the highest-porosity formations of the Rock Springs Uplift (Southwest Wyoming): experimentation and multi-scale modeling

Technical Report Piri, Mohammad

Under this project, a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Wyoming combined state-of-the-art experimental studies, numerical pore- and reservoir-scale modeling, and high performance computing to investigate trapping mechanisms relevant to geologic storage of mixed scCO{sub 2} in deep saline aquifers. The research included investigations in three fundamental areas: (i) the experimental determination of two-phase flow relative permeability functions, relative permeability hysteresis, and residual trapping under reservoir conditions for mixed scCO{sub 2}-brine systems; (ii) improved understanding of permanent trapping mechanisms; (iii) scientifically correct, fine grid numerical simulations of CO{sub 2} storage in deep saline aquifers taking into account themore »« less
