0 In this study, integrated modeling of basin- and plume-scale processes induced by full‐scale deployment of CO2 storage was applied to the Mt. Simon Sandstone aquifer in the Illinois Basin. https://ngwa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1745-6584.2009.00657.x
0 This paper presents results of a reservoir characterization of Mt. Simon Sandstone in the Illinois Basin. The study involved measuring absolute horizontal and vertical permeability, effective porosity, and net and gross thickness. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2011.02.534
0 This study examined the sedimentary architecture in CO2 reservoirs and the associated variations in petrophysical attributes. These parameters control plume dynamics and residual CO2 trapping in the reservoir. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2017.09.017

21 This report contains an examination of the Mt. Simon Sandstone in the Manlove gas storage field, NW Champaign County, Illinois. https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/items/73629
21 This report presents a study of the Mt. Simon Sandstone at the Decatur Project Carbon Capture and Storage Site in Decatur, Illinois. The sandstone is depositionally diverse and is heterogeneous with respect to lithology and diagenetic attributes. The study was performed by the Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium (MGSC) and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) via the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership Program (contract number DE-FC26-05NT42588). https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/items/55449
