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.

| Geologic-Carbon-Sequestration Potential of the Ordovician St. Peter Sandstone | Unknown | 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. | Open resource |

| Regional Diagenetic Patterns in the St. Peter Sandstone | HTML | 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 | Open resource |
| CO2 Injectivity and Other Parameters for St. Peter and Potosi Rocks | HTML | 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. | Open resource |
| Utilization of St. Peter Sandstone for CO2 Sequestration | HTML | 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. | Open resource |
