CO{sub 2} Sequestration Capacity and Associated Aspects of the Most Promising Geologic Formations in the Rocky Mountain Region: Local-Scale Analyses
2013
The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of individual local-‐scale CCS site characterization studies conducted in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. These site-‐ specific characterization analyses were performed as part of the “Characterization of Most Promising Sequestration Formations in the Rocky Mountain Region” (RMCCS) project. The primary objective of these local-‐scale analyses is to provide a basis for regional-‐scale characterization efforts within each state. Specifically, limits on time and funding will typically inhibit CCS projects from conducting high-‐ resolution characterization of a state-‐sized region, but smaller (< 10,000 km{sup 2}) site analyses are usually possible, and such can provide insight regarding limiting factors for the regional-‐scale geology. For the RMCCS project, the outcomes of these local-‐scale studies provide a starting point for future local-‐scale site characterization efforts in the Rocky Mountain region.
