Abstract

Abstract The Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership performed a case study on the feasibility of underground carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) storage in the basal saline system of central North America. The calculated volumetric CO 2 storage resource potential in this system is 373 Gt. Two dynamic modeling scenarios were designed to address the dynamic CO 2 storage capacity and pressure transient. Various strategies were tested including injection well location and spacing, injection optimization, and water extraction during CO 2 injection. This study underscores the potential difference in CO 2 storage potential between estimates made with volumetric approaches and those made with dynamic methodologies.
