Reservoir Characterization And Static Earth Modeling For Potential Co2 Storage In Upper Pennsylvanian Cyclothems Of Midcontinent, Usa, Valerie Lynn Smith
Reservoir Characterization And Static Earth Modeling For Potential Co2 Storage In Upper Pennsylvanian Cyclothems Of Midcontinent, Usa, Valerie Lynn Smith
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This dissertation details the estimation of CO2 storage volume using reservoir characterization and the building of static earth models in two papers: 1) for Sleepy Hollow Field in Red Willow County, Nebraska and, 2) for Huffstutter Field, Phillips County, Kansas. These models are used to obtain estimates of CO2 storage capacity in stacked carbonate intervals of the Pennsylvanian Lansing and Kansas City groups (LKC). The LKC constitutes a regional succession of interbedded carbonates and shales. Located over the Cambridge Arch of Nebraska, these interbedded units were evaluated for carbon storage potential. Understanding the occurrence of carbonate porosity among …
