Mountaineer Commercial Scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project: CO2 storage report

22nd November 2011

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage

Understanding sub-surface geology is a time consuming and labor intensive process especially in an unexplored region. The Mountaineer plant region in West Virginia is not a part of the conventional oil and gas exploration region and hence there is considerable lack of pre-existing data.

Based on the experiences of drilling six deep wells, the associated geologic and geophysical work and the experience from running the CO2 injection operations, AEP has a better understanding of the sub-surface and a CO2 sequestration project.
