Abstract

A basin-scale model of geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) in the basal sandstone of the Illinois Basin is being developed. This generation of the GCS model includes a new temperature profile, new brine salinity data, a new injection wellfield design, and revised geologic data. Modeling results indicate that 100 million tonnes of CO₂ per year for 50 years can be injected into the sandstone and permanently stored. Approximately 5,000 years after injection, the injected CO₂ has not reached the caprock, but remains in the Mt. Simon Sandstone with 29% as mobile CO₂, 56% trapped via residual trapping, and 15% dissolved in the brine.
