Abstract
A major component of the U.S. DOE Carbon Storage Program is Infrastructure, which includes the seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSPs). The RCSP Initiative began in 2003 with an assessment of the CO2 storage resource in various geologic formations throughout the seven partnerships, and has subsequently focused on small- and large-scale field projects. RCSP field projects involve site-specific characterization and application of simulation and risk assessment, and monitoring, verification, accounting (MVA) and assessment technologies in different types of storage reservoirs in various geologic depositional environments and different geographic regions. Field testing has validated multiple technologies and tested new tools and approaches, and shown the need for integration of multiple tools for monitoring. Results of the field projects have improved our understanding of CO2 injection, fluid flow and pressure migration, and geomechanical and geochemical impacts of injection, and are providing experience and knowledge of operation at scale which is essential for broad, commercial deployment of storage technologies.
