Thus, this location is ideal for establishing low carbon solutions such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) operations. The tri-state study area, including eastern Ohio, southwestern Pennsylvania, and northern Wester Virginia, is 100 square miles centered around CONSOL Energy Inc.’s advanced pressurized fluidized bed combustion power plant with carbon capture (Figure 1). Devonian to Cambrian age rocks were evaluated for resource characterization for CCS. Data compilation, petrophysical analyses, seismic interpretations, geotechnical investigations, storage capacity estimates, and integration into a geomodel were performed. These workflows were based on previously established methods for site screening, selection, and resource classification, and tailored to suit this subsurface study. We characterized prospective carbon storage options in deep saline aquifer storage of the tri-state area, including the Oriskany Sandstone/Huntersville Chert, Medina Group, Lockport Dolomite, Trenton Limestone, Beekmantown Group, and Gatesburg Formation (Figure 2). Additional collaboration of industry and research is needed to advance the implementation and resolution of promising sites for CO2 injection in the tri-state region.Keywords: CCS, Appalachian Basin, resource characterization, site selectionPermalink: https://doi.org/10.1190/image2022-3751736.1FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Second International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & EnergyISSN (print):1052-3812 ISSN (online):1949-4645Copyright: 2022 Pages: 3694 publication data© 2022 Published in electronic format with permission by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists and the American Association of Petroleum GeologistsPublisher:Society of Exploration Geophysicists HistoryPublished Online: 15 Aug 2022 CITATION INFORMATION Brigitte Petras, Joel Sminchak, Randall Hunt, Glenn Larson, Amy Lang, and Neeraj Gupta, (2022), "Decarbonizing the Appalachian Basin: Resource characterization of saline storage for CONSOL’s advanced pressurized fluidized bed combustion power plant with carbon capture," SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts : 557-559. https://doi.org/10.1190/image2022-3751736.1 Plain-Language Summary KeywordsCCSAppalachian Basinresource characterizationsite selectionPDF DownloadLoading ...
