“…Another group totalling 68 papers (8%) addressed storage site assessments and storage potentials. Key papers included Wei et al [28] (d = 90), who developed a framework for the evaluation of storage site suitability, in which the authors took into account storage capacity optimisation, injectivity, risk minimisation, storage security, environmental restrictions, and economic issues; Civile et al [29] (d = 71), who identified and characterised areas potentially suitable for CO 2 geological storage at a regional scale in carbonate rocks in Italy; and Frost and Jakle [30] (d = 70), who characterised areas of Palaeozoic deep saline aquifers in the Rocky Mountain West.…”

For many years, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been discussed as a technology that may make a significant contribution to achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. At present, however, only two large-scale power plants capture a total of 2.4 Mt CO 2 /a. Several reasons are identified for this mismatch between expectations and realised deployment. Applying bibliographic coupling, the research front of CCS, understood to be published peer-reviewed papers, is explored to scrutinise whether the current research is sufficient to meet these problems. The analysis reveals that research is dominated by technical research (69%). Only 31% of papers address non-technical issues, particularly exploring public perception, policy, and regulation, providing a broader view on CCS implementation on the regional or national level, or using assessment frameworks. This shows that the research is advancing and attempting to meet the outlined problems, which are mainly non-technology related. In addition to strengthening this research, the proportion of papers that adopt a holistic approach may be increased in a bid to meet the challenges involved in transforming a complex energy system. It may also be useful to include a broad variety of stakeholders in research so as to provide a more resilient development of CCS deployment strategies.

“…The RSU, located in Southwestern Wyoming (Figure 1), has been identified as a potential geologic CO 2 storage site in Southwestern Wyoming (Campbell-Stone et al, 2011;Frost & Jakle, 2010;Grana et al, 2017;Surdam, 2013). Formed during the Late Cretaceous to Paleogene Laramide Orogeny (Erslev & Koenig, 2009), the RSU is an asymmetric, doubly plunging anticline with more than 3,000 m of closed structural relief that lies on the Rocky Mountain foreland basement.…”

Laboratory measurements including gas (N2) porosity and permeability, time‐domain nuclear magnetic resonance, thin section, and scanning electron microscopy analysis were conducted to obtain petrographical and petrophysical descriptions of the Weber Sandstone and Madison Limestone at the Rock Spring Uplift, a potential carbon dioxide storage site in Southwestern Wyoming. The relationships between pore structures, such as pore geometry, pore‐size distribution, pore network, and porosity/permeability are investigated. First, using thin sections combined with scanning electron microscopy for pore structures description, all samples are described in detail from the geological, petrographysical, and diagenetic viewpoint. Results show that within the Madison Limestone, pore types include intercrystalline, vuggy, moldic, or mixed (combination of all other pore types). Both moldic and vuggy pore types are associated with samples of high porosity and permeability. Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation time distributions show either bimodal or multimodal distributions. Large relaxation time components are associated with samples with large pores, whereas small components are dominated by small pores. The T2 geometric mean correlates well with gas permeability. Additionally, short‐time diffusion coefficients (D) were measured by pulsed field gradient method using a series of gradient strengths. We found that diffusion coefficient distributions correlate with the corresponding T2 distributions for macropores. By comparing the dominant peak position of T2 distributions and their corresponding diffusion coefficient distributions, we predicted the surface relaxivity of different rock types. We found that surface relaxivities of Weber Sandstone samples can be well predicted, while for Madison Limestone samples, surface relaxivities are overestimated due to diffusive pore coupling effect.

“…This site was also of interest for sequestration research activities due to a large abundance of natural CO 2 being produced as a byproduct of oil and gas development in the region and an already present CO 2 sequestration infrastructure and market to support enhanced oil recovery (EOR). These two factors provide both a potential supply of CO 2 and future opportunities for CCS (Frost and Jakle, 2010).…”

This paper describes the design and development of a conceptual framework for creating and implementing a cyberinfrastructure model to support interdisciplinary science associated with geologic carbon sequestration at the University of Wyoming. "Cyberinfrastructure" is a term increasingly used within the scientific community to represent information infrastructure networks connecting technology, data, and people to support research activities and the dissemination of its results. In this study, a cyberinfrastructure was designed for a multi-team, multi-task project case study centered on carbon sequestration research in the Moxa Arch, Wyoming. The design was based on a needs assessment conducted to identify information technology practices and requirements for each science team, resulting in a prototype carbon capture and storage knowledgebase workflow model. Major components of the workflow model include social networking functionality and geographic information system-based data management and visualization. The long-term goal of the effort is to build a cyberinfrastructure that fosters and enhances collaboration across research involved with geologic characterization, reservoir modeling, and long-term monitoring of geologic sequestration activities in Wyoming and throughout the Rocky Mountain Region.
