Phase II: Storage Complex Feasibility Projects
Location of the Storage Complex Feasibility projects.
Click on a project number to learn more.
Research in the Storage Complex Feasibility projects (CarbonSAFE Phase II) focuses on one or more specific reservoirs within the defined storage complex, encompassing:
- Data collection.
- Geologic analysis.
- Identification of contractual and regulatory requirements and plans to satisfy them.
- Subsurface modeling to support geologic characterization, risk assessment, and monitoring.
- Public outreach.
Projects in this phase drill at least one characterization well and acquire geologic data from seismic surveys, core logs, and well tests. These projects evaluate initial reservoir characteristics to determine if the reservoir is suitable for 50+ MMT geologic storage, address technical and non-technical challenges that may arise, develop a risk assessment and CO2 management strategy for the project, and assist with the validation of National Risk Assessment Partnership (NRAP) tools and other United States Department of Energy (DOE) tools.
