Estimation of Near-Wellbore Corrosive Conditions During CO2 Injection and Shut-In Periods: A Risk-Based Approach
This document discusses water vaporization and geochemical reactions that occur between rock and formation fluids during CO2 injection and workover operations. When CO2 is injected
into deep saline aquifers, the CO2–fluid interactions create an acidic environment, which can increase the risk of corrosion in the well. Properly quantifying near-wellbore geochemical
conditions is important to ensure that well material design choices are appropriate and effective for ensuring CO2 injection well integrity. The focus of this study is on the prediction of the reactive transport dynamics in the near-wellbore zone during injection, shut-in, and restart periods.

Tracking CO2 - Illinois CCS Monitoring Wells
At the first large-scale CCS project in the United States, the Illinois CCS Project, the monitoring system did exactly what it was designed to do—it detected that some CO2 had moved slightly away from the intended storage target. Because the monitoring worked so well, scientists were able to quickly investigate.

2026 PCOR Aquifer Exemption Letter to EPA
The Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership respectfully writes to urge the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to amend the federal Underground Injection Control (UIC) regulations to explicitly allow for the designation of aquifer exemptions for Class VI wells used for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2).

CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery in the Dickinson Lodgepole Mounds
Eight of the top 10 most productive oil wells in North Dakota pump oil from the Dickinson Lodgepole Mounds, a set of oil fields in Stark County, North Dakota. They offer an intriguing opportunity for CO2 EOR, estimated to produce 21–34 million more barrels of oil and permanently store 6–15 million metric tons of CO2.

Prairie Horizon Carbon Management Hub
The Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), with support from the North Dakota Industrial Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy, evaluated the potential for the development of a large-scale carbon management hub (CMH) in Stark County, North Dakota. The objective of the Prairie Horizon CMH project is to build public confidence to benefit and accelerate commercial carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) deployment. Findings from this investigation can facilitate project development by informing early-stage decision-making related to site selection, stakeholder engagement, understanding risks, and permitting readiness.
