title = "Integrated Analysis of Geomechanical Factors for Geologic CO 2 Storage in the Midwestern United States",
abstract = "Many deep saline rock formations have the capacity for large-scale CO2 storage in the Midwestern United States. However, geomechanical factors are not well characterized throughout the region. In this project, subsurface geomechanical conditions were described based on geologic structures, geomechanical core tests, geophysical log analysis, fracture breakdown pressure data from oil and gas wells, and the spatial arrangement of deep saline rock formations suitable for CO2 storage. The research focused on portraying regional variations of these factors, fracture patterns in key intervals, and their impact on design and operation of CO2 injection wells and the storage process.",
