NATCARB CO2Sources v1501 (Archived)

The NATCARB Sources dataset provides a single, seamless spatial database of stationary sources of
atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions across the USA and parts of Canada compiled from regional datasets
created by the RCSPs. The spatial distribution of carbon dioxide emission estimates in this dataset are intended
to be used as an initial assessment of stationary sources only. Stationary sources are particular, identifiable,
localized sources of emissions, and include such operations as power plants, ethanol plants, petroleum and
natural gas processing facilities, cement and lime plants, agricultural processing facilities, industrial facilities,
iron and steel production facilities, and fertilizer production facilities. Non-stationary sources of CO2, such as
transportation, and non-point sources, such as widespread land use practices, are not included in this data set.
RCSPs either used emissions estimates from the EPA Greenhouse Gas database or calculated emissions
estimates using other publicly-available databases (e.g., eGRID, IEA GHG, and NATCARB) and emissions
factors. Calculation methods for a given source type vary by RCSP.

NATCARB OilGas v1501 (Archived)

This dataset provides a single, seamless spatial database of carbon storage potentials for oil and gas
reservoirs across the USA and Canada compiled from regional datasets created by RCSPs and the KGS. Storage
resource estimates are based on physically accessible CO2 storage pore volume within subsurface geologic
formations, and on the assumption that the storage resources are open systems in which in situ fluids will either
be displaced from the injection zone or managed accordingly. Economic and regulatory constraints are not
considered. These data are intended to be used as an initial assessment of potential geologic storage and are
not a substitute for site-specific assessment, testing, and geologic investigation. This spatial data layer provides
carbon capture and storage (CCS) project developers a starting point for further inquiry into CCS technologies
aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and is intended for use by RCSPs, project developers, and governmental
entities for regional- and national-scale assessments of potential CO2 storage resources in the United States and
parts of Canada.

USGS 3D Elevation Program

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Geospatial Program is developing the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) to respond to growing needs for high-quality topographic data and for a wide range of other three-dimensional (3D) representations of the Nation's natural and constructed features. The primary goal of 3DEP is to systematically collect 3D elevation data in the form of light detection and ranging (lidar) data over the conterminous United States, Hawaii, and the U.S. territories, with data acquired over an 8-year period. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (ifsar) data will be acquired for Alaska, where cloud cover and remote locations preclude the use of lidar in much of the State. The 3DEP initiative is based on the results of the National Enhanced Elevation Assessment that documented more than 600 business uses across 34 Federal agencies, all 50 States, selected local government and Tribal offices, and private and nonprofit organizations. A fully funded and implemented 3DEP would provide more than $690 million annually in new benefits to government entities, the private sector, and citizens.

Application of Reservoir Characterization and Advanced Technology to Improve Recovery and Economics in a Lower Quality Shallow Shelf San Andres Reservoir

West Welch Unit is one of four large waterflood units in the Welch Field in the northwestern portion of Dawson County, Texas. The Welch Field was discovered in the early 1940's and produces oil under a solution gas drive mechanism from the San Andres formation at approximately 4800 ft. The field has been under waterflood for 30 years and a significant portion has been infill-drilled on 20-ac density. A 1982-86 pilot CO2 injection project in the offsetting South Welch Unit yielded positive results. Recent installation of a CO2 pipeline near the field allowed the phased development of a miscible CO2 injection project at the South Welch Unit.

Application of Time-Lapse Seismic Monitoring for the Control and Optimization of CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Operations

The "Application of Time-Lapse Seismic Monitoring for the Control and Optimization of CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Operations" project is investigating the potential for monitoring CO2 floods in carbonate reservoirs through the use of standard p-wave seismic data. This project will involve the use of 4D seismic (time lapse seismic) to try to observe the movement of the CO2 through the reservoir. The differences between certain seismic attributes, such as amplitude, will be used to map this movement. The project is being conducting in the Charleton 30/31 field in northern Michigan Basin. This field is a Silurian pinnacle reef that has completed its primary production and is now being prepared for an enhanced oil recovery project using CO2. This field will begin its CO2 flood during 2005.

Advanced Reservoir Characterization in the Antelope Shale to Establish the Viability of c02 Enhanced Oil Recovery in California's Monterey Formation Siliceous Shales

The primary objective of this research is to conduct advanced reservoir characterization and modeling studies in the Antelope Shale reservoir. Characterization studies will be used to determine the technical feasibility of implementing a CO2 enhanced oil recovery project in the Antelope Shale in Buena Vista Hills Field. The Buena Vista Hills pilot CO2 project will demonstrate the economic viability and widespread applicability of CO2 flooding in fractured siliceous shale reservoirs of the San Joaquin Valley. The research consists of four primary work processes: Reservoir Matrix and Fluid Characterization; Fracture Characterization; Reservoir Modeling and Simulation; and CO2 Pilot Flood and Evaluation. Work done in these areas is subdivided into two phases or budget periods. The first phase of the project will focus on the application of a variety of advanced reservoir characterization techniques to determine the production characteristics of the Antelope Shale reservoir. Reservoir models based on the results of the characterization work will be used to evaluate how the reservoir will respond to secondary recovery and EOR processes. The second phase of the project will include the implementation and evaluation of an advanced enhanced oil recovery (EOR) pilot in the United Anticline (West Dome) of the Buena Vista Hills Field.

Microseismic and Deformation Imaging of Hydraulic Fracture Growth and Geometry in the C Sand Interval, GRI/DOE M-Site Project

Six hydraulic-fracture injections into a fluvial sandstone at a depth of 4300 ft were monitored with multi-level tri-axial seismic receivers in two wells and an inclinometer array in one well, resulting in maps of the growth and final geometry of each fracture injection. These diagnostic images show the progression of height and length growth with fluid volume, rate and viscosity. Complexities associated with shut downs and high treatment pressures can be observed. Validation of the seismic geometry was made with the inclinometers and diagnostic procedures in an intersecting well. Fracture information related to deformation, such as fracture closure pressure, residual widths, and final prop distribution, were obtained from the inclinometer data.

Increased Oil Production and Reserves from Improved Completion Techniques in the Bluebell Field, Uinta Basin, Utah

The Bluebell field is productive from the Tertiary lower Green River and Wasatch Formations of the Uinta Basin, Utah. The productive interval consists of thousands of feet of interbedded fractured clastic and carbonate beds deposited in a fluvial-dominated deltaic lacustrine environment. Wells in the Bluebell field are typically completed by perforating 40 or more beds over 1,000 to 3,000 vertical feet (300-900 m), then stimulating the entire interval. This completion technique is believed to leave many potentially productive beds damaged and/or untreated, while allowing water-bearing and low-pressure (thief) zones to communicate with the wellbore. Geologic and engineering  characterization has been used to define improved completion techniques. A two-year characterization study involved detailed examination of outcrop, core, well logs, surface and subsurface fractures, produced oil-field waters, engineering parameters of the two demonstration wells, and analysis of past completion techniques and effectiveness. The characterization study resulted in recommendations for improved completion techniques and a field-demonstration program to test those techniques. The results of the characterization study and the proposed demonstration program are discussed in the second annual technical progress report. The operator of the wells was unable to begin the field demonstration this project year (October 1, 1995 to September 20, 1996). Correlation and thickness mapping of individual beds in the Wasatch Formation was completed and resulted in a series of maps of each of the individual beds. These data were used in constructing the reservoir models. Non-fractured and fractured geostatistical models and reservoir simulations were generated for a 20-square-mile (51.8-km2) portion of the Bluebell field. The modeling provides insights into the effects of fracture porosity and permeability in the Green River and Wasatch reservoirs.

INCREASED OIL PRODUCTION AND RESERVES UTILIZING SECONDARY/TERTIARY RECOVERY TECHNIQUES ON SMALL RESERVOIRS IN THE PARADOX BASIN, UTAH

The Paradox basin of Utah, Colorado, and Arizona contains nearly 100 small oil fields producing from carbonate buildups or mounds within the Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) Paradox Formation. These fields typically have one to four wells with primary production ranging from 700,000 to 2,000,000 barrels (111,300-318,000 m3) of oil per field at a 15 to 20 percent recovery rate. At least 200 million barrels (31,800,000 m3) of oil is at risk of being unrecovered in these small fields because of inefficient recovery practices and undrained heterogeneous reservoirs. Five fields (Anasazi, Mule, Blue Hogan, Heron North, and Runway) within the Navajo Nation of southeastern Utah are being evaluated for waterflood or carbon-dioxide-miscible flood projects based upon geological characterization and reservoir modeling. The results can be applied to other fields in the Paradox basin and the Rocky Mountain region, the Michigan and Illinois basins, and the Midcontinent.

Basin Oriented Strategies for CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery: Offshore Louisiana

Louisiana derives a significant portion of its general revenue and an important portion of its economic and employment base from the oil and natural gas sector. However, production from shallow waters of offshore Louisiana (less than 200 meters water depth) has been in decline: -Crude oil production has dropped from over 630,000 barrels per day in 1992 to 380,000 barrels per day in 2003. -Natural gas production has declined from 3.3 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) per year in 2002 to 2.3 Tcf per year in 2003. -Increases in production from the deep federal waters (greater than 200 meters) have helped offset declines in shallow water production. The Louisiana economy is also highly dependent on a wide variety of industries that depend on offshore oil and gas production. For example, Louisiana is  he third largest consumer of natural gas in the U.S., and a large number of chemical industry jobs in Louisiana are highly dependent on the continued availability of adequate volumes of moderately priced natural gas. Moreover, offshore oil and gas production operations support a vast spectrum of other activities in the state, including platform fabrication, drilling and related services, offshore transport and helicopter operations, and gas processing.
