| Reservoir Characterization of the Mt. Simon Sandstone in Illinois Basin | Unknown | 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. | Open resource |
| Linking Vertical Variability of Permeability and Porosity to Newly-Interpreted Lithofacies in Mt. Simon | Unknown | 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. | Open resource |
| Modeling of Basin and Plume Scale Processes of CO2 Storage | Unknown | 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. | Open resource |

| Depositional and Diagenetic Characterization of Mt. Simon Sandstone | HTML | 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). | Open resource |
| Reservoir Characterization and 3-D Models of Mt. Simon Sandstone | HTML | This report contains an examination of the Mt. Simon Sandstone in the Manlove gas storage field, NW Champaign County, Illinois. | Open resource |
