We will compile reservoir property data, such as porosity and permeability, borehole temperature and pressure, fluid density, and salinity, for the previously identified top storage reservoirs in Michigan (Mt. Simon, St. Peter, Bass Islands, Dundee, and Niagaran Reefs). Detailed property maps will be produced to identify the most prospective storage regions.

We will evaluate potential saline reservoirs and depleted oil and gas fields which have not previously been studied. These reservoirs will be assessed to determine storage resources and stacked storage potential. Such reservoirs could include the regional Guelph and Lockport formations, Sylvania Sandstone, and Detroit River Group carbonates.

We will compile and evaluate geologic and injection data for brine disposal wells in Michigan. Data could include depth, formation, reservoir properties, injection rates, and injection volumes. The reservoirs will be linked to CO2 storage reservoirs to identify potential pressure management strategies and integrated with unproven reservoirs to identify additional reservoirs for pressure management.
