An Assessment of Geologic Carbon Sequestration Options in the Illinois Basin: Phase III

The Illinois Basin – Decatur Project (IBDP) successfully demonstrated the safe geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) at the near commercial-scale. Such demonstration projects are essential to gain understanding of the workflows and monitoring equipment needed to be able to geologically sequester CO 2 at a commercial scale, and to gain public confidence in the technology. The IBDP was carried out by the Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium (MGSC), one of seven USDOE NETL RCSPs that were formed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of geological storage of CO 2 as a mitigation tool to address global climate change. The MGSC was formed and led by the Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky geological surveys of the Illinois Basin. The Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) at the University of Illinois was the principal investigator for and managed the IBDP, with the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) (now Indiana Geological and Water Survey) and the Kentucky Geological Survey (KGS) as key partners.

CO 2 Sequestration Assessment of the basal sandstone in Tennessee (SECARB Phase III Work Product 1.6.a)

Geologic carbon sequestration is the permanent storage of CO 2 in deep underground geologic formations, which is preceded by the separation and capture of CO 2 at the point of emissions from a stationary source such as a coal-fired electric power plant. The United States Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Fossil Energy National Energy Technological Laboratory (NETL) is engaged in research and development of Carbon Sequestration Program technology. This report assesses potential geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) storage capacity of the basal sandstone in Tennessee. The Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership evaluated the Basal Sandstone in Tennessee for potential to store commercial quantities of CO 2 . This report expands upon the findings from the 2007 assessment of potential CO 2 storage reservoirs in the southeast United States, which included an initial assessment of the basal sandstone capacity. These estimates are based on limited and generalized data sets, which are primarily from published literature. In the 2007 report, the depth range for the basal sandstone was found to be 4,000 to 8,000 feet (ft) and the average thickness was 100 ft. The capacity estimate for the basal sandstone from the 2007 report was 2.5 gigatons (Gt) (metric) of CO 2 . Recognized the need for a more accurate estimate of capacity for the geologic sinks. This report provides a site specific, detailed geologic investigation of the basal sandstone. In this report the CO 2 storage capacity of the basal sandstone in Tennessee is assessed using an average reservoir total porosity, gross formation thickness, and average storage reservoir depth and pressure. The methodology is based on the capacity assessment methodology for saline aquifers in the United States Department of Energy 2010 Carbon Sequestration Atlas of the United States and Canada. Storage capacities are summarized in Table ES-1.

Capacity Report on Knox Group (SECARB Phase III Work Product 1.6.b)

This report assesses the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) storage capacity for the Knox Group and the Stones River Group in the Mississippi Black Warrior Basin. The results of this evaluation are complimentary to the Geologic Survey of Alabama (GSA) evaluation of potential CO 2 storage reservoirs in the Alabama Black Warrior Basin. The Stones River Group directly overlies the Knox Group and it contains documented porous zones that may be promising for CO 2 sequestration. The Cambrian-Ordovician interval is a thick sequence of carbonates that occurs in multiple geologic settings in the Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB). The Knox and Stones River Groups could likely only serve as a CO 2 storage reservoir in the southern region of its occurrence, within the Black Warrior Basin. Recorded high porosity zones in the Stones River Group, are likely discontinuous and inconsistent horizons; making it difficult to determine the potential CO 2 storage capacity. Increased data coverage of the Knox and Stones River Groups and a detailed study on injectable zones in these formations would provide a clearer picture on their potential for CO 2 storage.

Completed Drilling Permit (SECARB Phase III Work Product 3.2.6.a)

The Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership’s (SECARB’s) Anthropogenic Test is a demonstration of the deployment of CO 2 capture, transport, geologic storage, and monitoring technologies. The capture component of the test takes place at the James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant in Bucks, Alabama. The capture facility utilizes post-combustion amine capture technology licensed from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America to process flue gas from a coal-fired power unit at Plant Barry. The amount of CO 2 captured using this process is equivalent to the emissions produced when generating 25 megawatts (MW) of electricity. CO 2 captured at the plant is transported by pipeline for underground storage in a saline geologic formation within the Citronelle Dome. This project is one of the first and the largest fully-integrated commercial prototype coal-fired carbon capture and storage projects in the USA.

Completed and Interpreted Baseline Seismic Survey Report (SECARB Phase III Work Product 4.2.2.b)

Advanced Resources presents the results of the seismic survey performed at the SECARB Citronelle project in Alabama. The CO 2 monitoring effort for the Anthropogenic Test includes two wellbore seismic methods, specifically time-lapse crosswell seismic and vertical seismic profiles (VSP). Due to the unique challenges presented by this test (injection depth of 9,500+ ft. into thin, stacked reservoir sands and limited injection volumes) surface seismic was eliminated as a Monitoring, Verification, and Accounting (MVA) tool. However, the newly drilled project wells provided ample casing diameters (prior to running tubing) to accommodate wellbore seismic receivers (wireline and tubing deployed) and a crosswell source. Baseline surveys were conducted in 2012 prior to the onset of CO 2 injection operations. Reports document the results from the baseline vertical seismic profile (VSP) and crosswell seismic surveys performed by SR2020 and Schlumberger Carbon Services, respectively.

Final Report on Reservoir Modeling (SECARB Phase III Work Product 4.2.4.c)

The SECARB Partnership Anthropogenic Test, located in the Southeast Unit of the Citronelle oilfield will inject CO 2 into the saline waters of the Cretaceous Paluxy sandstone formation for three years. In order to accurately model the injection, migration, and long-term fate of CO 2 in the subsurface, GEM, a Computer Modeling Group software program for transport and geochemical modeling, was selected for the simulation. GEM is a very robust compositional reservoir simulator, with all the necessary options available for modeling CO 2 trapping mechanisms (including solubility, residual gas and mineralization). This simulation tool is widely known and used in the petroleum and sequestration industries. A reservoir model was built, based on a previously developed comprehensive picture of the subsurface geology at the site (Work Product 4.2.1.d - Report on Subsurface Characterization for the Anthropogenic Test Project Site). This report describes in details the different inputs that were used to create the model as well as the results of the injection scenario in terms of achievable injection rates, plume extent and pressure response.

Transportation Design and Products Specification (SECARB Phase III Work Product 6.2.2.a)

The SECARB Anthropogenic Test at the Citronelle oil field in Mobile County, Alabama is the largest fully integrated coal-fired carbon capture, transportation and storage project in the United States. Constructed and funded by Southern Company and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the CO 2 capture facility at Alabama Power’s 2,657-megawatt Plant Barry captures up to 500 metric tons of CO 2 per day, the equivalent emissions from 25 MW of the plant’s power generation. Captured CO 2 is transported to the mature Citronelle oil field atop a 16,380 acre (66.3 km2 of surface area), geologic salt dome. Citronelle oil field is operated by Denbury Onshore, LLC. The CO 2 is injected through ten perforated intervals in the injection well casing at depths ranging from 9,436 ft to 9,800 ft into the porous and permeable sandstones of the Paluxy Formation. This report describes the transportation design and product specifications for captured CO 2 transported from the capture facility to the underground storage reservoir. CO 2 is transported through approximately 12 miles of pipeline from Plant Barry’s capture facility and is injected into the saline aquifer sandstones of the Paluxy formation at Citronelle oil field. The following outlines the details and characteristics of each point of transportation and the quality of CO 2 being transported.
