These examinations and subsequent computer modeling and simulation work led to clarifications of the effects of different key parameters on CO2 storage under a broad range of geological conditions.
The ultimate culmination of these efforts was 1) the identification and refinement of equations for estimating CO2 storage resources for saline formations; 2) the development of coefficient values for such systems, representing a wide variety of geological features at scales ranging from small to very large; and 3) an approach for utilizing those equations and coefficients toward the development of technically defensible and consistent storage resource/capacity estimates.
