A tool to facilitate modeling and pilot projects for sequestration of carbon dioxide in saline formations
(American Chemical Society: Division of Fuel Chemistry, 2000)Saline water-bearing formations that extend beneath much of the continental United States are attractive candidates for disposal of CO, produced during power generation or by other industrial processes. We have quantified ... -
Capacity investigation of brine-bearing sands of the Frio Formation for geologic sequestration of CO2
(First National Conference on Carbon Sequestration, May 14–17, Washington, D.C., sponsored by National Energy Technology Laboratory, 2001-05)The capacity of fluvial brine-bearing formations to sequester CO2 is investigated using numerical simulations of CO2 injection and storage. Capacity is defined as the volume fraction of the subsurface available for CO2 ... -
Evaluation of brine-bearing sands of the Frio Formation, Upper Texas Gulf Coast for geologic sequestration of CO2
(First National Conference on Carbon Sequestration, May 14–17, Washington, D.C., sponsored by National Energy Technology LaboratoryProceedings, First National Conference on Carbon Sequestration, May 14–17, Washington, D.C., sponsored by National Energy Technology, 2001-05) -
Frio brine sequestration pilot in the Texas Gulf Coast
(Greenhouse gas control technologies: Proceedings, 6th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies, 2003-10-01)A field experiment to pioneer CO2 injection for sequestration in a brine-bearing sandstone-shale sequence in the Texas Gulf Coast, USA, is in the preinjection modeling and planning phase. Innovations in this experiment ... -
Audience-Pleasing Physical Models to Support CO2 Outreach
(National Energy Technology Laboratory Fourth Annual Conference on Carbon Capture and Sequestration, 2005-05-02)Outreach to increase public understanding is critical to implementation of carbon capture and storage, but conventional lectures may fail to engage a non-technical audience. In this presentation we will exhibit a selection ... -
Source-Sink Matching and Potential for Carbon Capture and Storage in the Gulf Coast
(Proceedings of the 2006 UIC Conference of the Groundwater Protection Council, 2006)Current global levels of anthropogenic CO2 emissions are 25.6 Gigatons yr. Approximately 1 Gigaton comes from the Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi Gulf Coast, representing 16 percent of the U.S. annual CO2 emissions from ... -
Area of review: how large is large enough for carbon storage?
(Proceedings of the 2006 UIC Conference of the Groundwater Protection Council, 2006)The Texas Gulf Coast is an attractive target for carbon storage. Stacked sand-shale layers provide large potential storage volumes and defense-in-depth leakage protection. However, multiple perforations resulting from ... -
Potential Sinks for Geologic Storage of CO2 Generated in the Carolinas
(2007-04-07)This document summarizes a scoping study of the current state of knowledge of carbon storage options for our geographic area. The focus is on one aspect of carbon capture and storage—identification of deep saline aquifers ...
