Forecasting commercial-scale CO2 storage capacity in deep saline reservoirs: Case study of Buzzard's bench, Central Utah

Successful implementation of Geological Carbon Sequestration (GCS) projects requires long-term storage capacity and security at selected fields. The purpose of this work is to evaluate and quantify potential storage capacity, trapping mechanisms and potential risks associated with commercial-scale (at least 50 MT CO2) injection and storage of CO2 in the subsurface. The specific case study evaluated is the Navajo Sandstone formation, a target GCS...
