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.

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.
