“…Based on experiential knowledge of these basins, general basin-wide porosity and net sand thickness values were assigned, and applied to each basin to estimate total basin pore volume for depths greater than 800-1000 meters (to ensure pressures required to maintain supercriticality of injected CO 2 within the storage formation). Next, using data derived by Brennan and Burruss (2006) on CO 2 solubilities at various salinities, each basin was evaluated for its capacity to store injected CO 2 via dissolution trapping. This implies an assumption that the formation is expected to return to 100% residual water saturation once the storage system has reached equilibrium.…”

“…For example, US net emissions of CO2 in 2003 were approximately 5841 Tg/yr (Mt/yr) whereas total integrated EOR operations in the US used only ∼35 Tg/yr (8). Given a CO2 injection density of approximately 600 kg/m 3 (9), each 5800 Tg of CO2 would require a pore volume of approximately 7 km 3 . Assuming an average porosity of 20%, no residual water saturation, and an average reservoir thickness of 50 m, the footprint required to sequester this volume of CO2 would be 700 km 2 , or an area 26 km × 26 km on the surface.…”

In this paper we describe CO 2 -PENS, a comprehensive systemlevel computational model for performance assessment of geologic sequestration of CO 2 . CO 2 -PENS is designed to perform probabilistic simulations of CO 2 capture, transport, and injection in different geologic reservoirs. Additionally, the longterm fate of CO 2 injected in geologic formations, including possible migration out of the target reservoir, is simulated. The simulations sample from probability distributions for each uncertain parameter, leading to estimates of global uncertainty that accumulate through coupling of processes as the simulation time advances. Each underlying process in the systemlevel model is built as a module that can be modified as the simulation tool evolves toward more complex problems. This approach is essential in coupling processes that are governed by different sets of equations operating at different timescales. We first explain the basic formulation of the system level model, briefly discuss the suite of process-level modules that are linked to the system level, and finally give an indepth example that describes the system level coupling between an injection module and an economic module. The example shows how physics-based calculations of the number of wells required to inject a given amount of CO 2 and estimates of plume size can impact long-term sequestration costs.

“…Collectively the three largest distinct fields in this area have produced 424,627,000 barrels of oil up to the end of 1989. Assuming that the density of carbon dioxide is near its maximum at approximately 750 kg/m3 (MIT, 2007), this oil production is equivalent to 50,631,200 tonnes of compressed supercritical CO 2 using analytical techniques developed by Brennan and Burruss (2006). The DOE (2010) estimated that there was 38,000,000 tonnes "additional storage resource capacity" in Florida which compares favorably to the former estimate considering that Jay field is the overwhelming source of most Florida oil production.…”

The feasibility of geologic sequestration is a function of many attributes including those related to site geology, geography, environment, engineering, and economics. Recently, a technical team from Southern Company, and the University of North Florida completed a preliminary feasibility evaluation of carbon transport and geologic sequestration in the Florida, USA "Pan-Handle" region. The study utilized various evaluation tools including GIS, numerical models, and optimization models.The overall planning and feasibility methodology is an adaptation of existing published frameworks for large water resources projects and for aquifer, storage and recovery (ASR) wells. The application of the new methodologies was demonstrated for geologic sequestration alternatives in Florida.The study results indicate that the Florida Pan-Handle region contains several suitable geologic sequestration storage repositories in close proximity to major carbon dioxide emission sources. The suitable geologic sequestration storage repositories include depleted oil reservoirs and extensive saline aquifers. The overall feasibility is controlled by geologic suitability of the repositories, transportation and storage costs to the repositories, and local host considerations.The significance of this study is that it is the first feasibility study of a geologic sequestration network in Florida, USA. Also, the overall planning and feasibility framework is original and could be utilized for other potential project areas around the world.
