ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This study is part of the Ohio River Valley CO2 Storage Project (sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, American Electric Power, BP, Ohio Coal Development Office, Schlumberger, and Battelle along with its Pacific Northwest Division). The 3-D simulations were performed at the Molecular Science Computing Facility (MSCF) in the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research and located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, operated for the Department of Energy by Battelle: Battelle document release number PNWD-SA-7605.
ABSTRACT
Numerical simulations of CO2 injection have been conducted as part of a program to assess the potential for geologic sequestration in a deep brine reservoir at the American Electric Power's Mountaineer Power Plant in New Haven, West Virginia. The results of the simulations provide design guidance for injection and monitoring strategies, protocols, and permits for a demonstration project for CO2 injection in these deep saline formations as well as support for integrated risk assessments. The results of simulations of CO2 injections into the Rose Run Formation using permeability and porosity distributions based on geostatistical analysis indicate that it is capable of receiving commercial-scale injection of CO2 (up to several hundred thousand tonnes per well annually).
