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.

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.

Inject and Store from 33,000 up to 182,500 metric tons of CO 2 (SECARB Phase III Work Product 8.2.2.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.

Southeast Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB) Phase III Anthropogenic Test at Citronelle Field, Mobile Co., AL. Post-Injection Period Reservoir Modeling Report

The Southeast Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB) Anthropogenic Test is a U.S. Department of Energy funded fully integrated carbon capture and storage initiative designed to demonstrate deep underground injection and containment of anthropogenic CO 2 sourced from Alabama Power’s Plant Barry. From August 20, 2012 to September 1, 2014, a total of 114,014 metric tonnes of CO 2 were transported via pipeline from Plant Barry and stored in a saline aquifer under a portion of the Citronelle Field operated by Denbury Onshore, LLC near Citronelle, Alabama. A major component of this project was to test and develop techniques to monitor, verify and account (MVA) for the CO 2 stored in the aquifer by the project. A suite of technologies were applied and developed to demonstrate non-endangerment of underground sources of drinking water (USDW’s) and to ensure that CO2 does not migrate out of intended zones within the subsurface. This involved several levels of monitoring: 1) Surface monitoring, 2) shallow groundwater monitoring, 3) deep reservoir monitoring and experimental MVA activities. Numerical models were developed to determine the project’s Area of Review (AoR) and to investigate the simulated advancement of the CO 2 plume through the subsurface aquifer for 30 years after the end of injection. An initial baseline area of review of 1,700 ft. was established. The key results demonstrating non-endangerment of USDW’s are presented.

Technical Assessment of Geologic Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) Storage: Best Practices Derived from Phase III of the Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership Program, 2007-2018

The Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, led by the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), was formed as part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) Initiative in 2003. The RCSP Program supports deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies—with primary focus on carbon utilization and geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) (hereafter referred to as storage)—as an essential means of reducing the carbon intensity of electricity generation and other CO 2 -emitting industrial processes. The PCOR Partnership has a growing membership, which has included over 120 industry, government, and research organizations, and over a decade of experience developing, testing, and validating methods and technologies for conducting CO 2 storage projects. Nine U.S. states and four Canadian provinces comprise the PCOR Partnership region, covering an area of 1.4 million square miles in the northern Great Plains.

Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (Phase III) Underground Source of Drinking Water Monitoring at the Farnsworth Unit

The Ogallala aquifer is identified as the only underground source of drinking water (USDW) aquifer in the vicinity of the FWU. Throughout the span of the SWP project at the FWU, groundwater samples from the Ogallala Aquifer were collected and analyzed on a regular basis to obtain information that reflects the water quality baseline and any potential leakage, and to facilitate effective simulations and risk assessment. To date, hundreds of samples have been collected and tested. The water analysis results suggest that the Ogallala groundwater quality maintains stable and potable, and no leakage is indicated by these data.
