f Adapting Producing Field Aquifers for CO2 Storage: an Example from LaBarge, Wyoming USA

Reservoir characterization, modeling and simulation of mature field saline aquifers has gained attention over the last few years as they prove to be potential CO2 storage sites. The LaBarge CO2 injection project in Wyoming, USA is a successful producing field example where the downdip saline aquifer is utilized for acid gas disposal, and now being expanded for long term CO2 storage. The LaBarge project demonstrates how maximizing the potential of a legacy model can deliver project expansion objectives within shorter timelines.
