The Michigan team at Western Michigan University has provided technical analysis and support of the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Northern Michigan Silurian Pinnacle reefs. This report discussed the relevant data about reservoir properties, including lithologic and depositional characteristics of the reservoir formations and porosity and fluid flow properties through different compartments in the reservoir. The team has also developed models that represent the geological and physical characteristics of the reservoir and seal system.

This report discusses and describes research carried out by the Maryland Geological Survey (MGS) with the objective of exploring the potential suitability of Triassic rift basins as locations for the permanent storage of carbon dioxide (CO2).
