ARI recently completed a study for the U.S. Energy Association entitled “Increasing CO2 Storage Options with Injection of CO2 in Shales.” This report addresses three shale formations that would provide nearly 4,600 million metric tons (MMmt) of CO2 storage capacity in basins and states where CO2 storage capacity in saline formations is notably limited or still poorly defined:
- Niobrara Shale in the DJ Basin of Colorado,
- Cana-Woodford Shale in the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, and
- Mowry Shale in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming.
