Description
A commercial-scale CO2 geologic storage complex able to store 50+ million tonnes of CO2 in central North Dakota.
This project evaluated two study areas and their respective geologic storage complexes located adjacent to separate coal-fired facilities in North Dakota: the Basin Electric Power Cooperative-owned Great Plains Synfuels Plant and the Minnkota Power Cooperative-owned Milton R. Young Station.
The geologic characterization wells were drilled ~5600 feet deep to the Broom Creek Formation; ~350 feet of core was retrieved from each well. The core included the Broom Creek (targeted injection zone) and a portion of the overlying Opeche Shale (seal).
