1 CO2 Geo Sequestration Needs Assessment: Permitting, i Data Management, Operations Presented By: Mike Nickolaus/GWPC & Mark Layne/ALL Consulting Presented at: Ground Water Protection Council Annual Forum Salt Lake City, UT September 15, 2009

2 Purpose Presentation of CO2 Geo Sequestration Class VI injection well functional program needs to define electronic data tracking and submissions to accomplish management of program. Sponsored dby:

3 Need Solicit input from Class VI stakeholders to shape and define data managementneeds needs Identification of Areas of most interest Identification of Potential ti Pilot State t Participation i Comprehensive Data Management and Document Management System Provide Information to Develop Survey of Need

4 Permit Application Area of Review Need: Maps of Comment Data Reg Wells Is a Map Sufficient? Data List? Submission Format? XML? Penetrations Subsurface Cleanup Sites Surface Water Springs Mines (Surface and Subsurface) Structures Roads Faults

5 Permit Application Area of Review Need: Size Comment Data Reg Determination Modeling Size delineation? What Model used? Submission/Storage of Data Files? Well Logging Well Testing Seismic Reservoir Conditions Fluid Parameters: Reservoir Fluid Parameters: Injection Stream Reservoir Structure Is Supercritical Required?

6 Permit Application Geology Need: Information Comment Data Reg Submitted Hydrogeologic Properties Data List? Submission Format? Structural Geology Injection Zone Geology Confining Zone(s) Geology Seismic History Faults Reservoir Parameters Cores Maps? Cross Sections? Seismic Sources Location/Orientation how submitted? How Determined to be non transmissive? Depth, areal extent, thickness, mineralogy, porosity, permeability, capillary pressure, etc.

7 Permit Application Geology Need: Information Comment Data Reg Submitted Geology/Facies Changes Outcrop Data Well Logs and Tests Geomechanical Information on Fractures Stress Ductility Rock Strength In situ Fluid In situ Fluid Pressures

8 Permit Application Well Construction Need: Proposed Comment Data Reg Construction Well Location(s) Well Design Casing, Tubing & Packer Surface: Wellhead Surface: Facilities Perforations Monitor Wells Locations Monitor Well Depths Stimulation Horizontal? Multiple Laterals? Setting Points

9 Permit Application Risk Assessment Need: Actions Comment Data Reg Risk to USDW Risk to Health Waste Stream Properties Formation Compatibility Water Compatibility Proposed Testing Schedule

10 Permit Application Beyond SDWA Need: Actions Comment Data Reg Clean Air Act RCRA CERCLA Waste Capture Waste Transport Other Permit Requirements 40 CFR Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act NPDES, etc.

11 Permit Application Waiver Need: NODA Comment Data Reg (8/24/2009) Injection Above/Between USDWs Public Notice Process Coordination i with ih other Agencies Aquifer Exemptions

12 Permit Application Approval Need: Process Comment Data Reg Proposed Monitor Plans Meets Criteria Proposed Operating Constraints Source of Injectate Corrective Actions on Wells in AoR MIT Permit Issuance DataMigration Public Notice List of Criteria? Shouldapplication databe migrated to production data? CROMEER

13 Financial Assurance Need: Revision Comment Data Reg Process Type of Assurance Level of Assurance Plan over Time Process of Adjustment Operation Post Injection Closure Emergency & Remedial Response Frequency of Review
