University of Illinois Campus Deep Direct-Use Feasibility Study - Geological Characterization of the St. Peter Sandstone

Description

These studies undertook detailed analyses of the formations within the Cambro-Ordovician strata above the Mt. Simon Sandstone in the Illinois Basin, including the St. Peter Sandstone, for geological storage and mineral potential.

21 This report is a deliverable of a larger study to evaluate the potential of formations within the Cambro-Ordovician strata above the Mt. Simon Sandstone as potential targets for carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in the Illinois and Michigan Basins. https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1202234
21 This report discusses the diagenetic history of the St. Peter Sandstone in the Illinois Basin. Burial cements preserve a record of diagenetic effects that were in part controlled by fractures and hydrothermal-fluid circulation. **See 'USGS Index Page' link for PDF download https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/b2094A
21 Results are presented from a new regional-scale characterization of the Ordovician St. Peter Sandstone for the Michigan and Illinois Basin regions of the midwestern United States. A hierarchical approach is implemented for storage-resource–estimate calculations. https://archives.datapages.com/data/deg/2017/EG012017/eg16007/eg16007.html?doi=10.1306%2Feg.02071716007
21 This study evaluated Cambro-Ordovician strata above basal Mt. Simon Sandstone reservoir for sequestration potential, including Cambrian carbonate intervals in the Knox and the Ordovician St. Peter Sandstone. https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1064414
