The latest phase of MRCSP research added several new attributes to an already comprehensive database in order to identify and rank the best opportunities for CO2 EOR throughout the 10-state region. Detailed reservoir parameters are necessary to perform a comprehensive evaluation of any given EOR target, and a ranking of opportunities depends on both availability of data and relative consideration or weight assigned to the various attributes. For example, a ranking based upon identifying fields with high storage capacities yields vastly different results than a ranking that focuses on reservoirs capable of miscible completion, or those in closest proximity to sources of CO2. A renewed focus on CO2-EOR also helped to identify information severely lacking in the MRCSP region, such as permeability and oil gravity. Calculations for some fields may not be available due to a lack of data. The equation MRCSP currently endorses to estimate storage resource potential for shale gas fields requires information on total organic carbon (TOC) content, which is not included in this dataset; therefore, these field types lack data. The ability to assess storage capacity in shale is an ongoing part of MRCSP research but is not yet available in this database. Some fields may appear truncated, or discontinuous, near the borders between states. This is one of the challenges when compiling geospatial data from multilple states. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This is a comprehensive characterization of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) opportunities throughout the ten-state MRCSP region. Spanning from the offshore Atlantic Coastal Plain through the Appalachian and Michigan basins, this area hosts a diverse assemblage of reservoir types and provides multiple CCUS targets. A key component of this research is the evaluation of opportunities for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in legacy oil fields via carbon dioxide (CO2) floods.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
