| Effects of Burial Diagenesis on Multiscale Porosity in the St. Peter Sandstone | Unknown | This study found that multiscale pore structure of rocks in sedimentary reservoirs and the mineralogy associated with those pores are critical factors for estimating reservoir properties, including fluid mass in place, permeability, and capillary pressures, as well as geochemical interactions between the rock and the fluid. | Open resource |
| The Subsurface Fluid Mechanics of Geologic CO2 Storage | HTML | Models of CO2 injection and the post-injection migration for several reservoirs in the US were developed based on geologic and petrophysical data. Simulations, experiments, and theory are used to clarify the fluid mechanics of CO2 storage, with the goal of informing government policy to implement carbon capture storage (CCS). | Open resource |
| St. Peter Porosity and Permeability.xlsx | XLS | Data compiled from unpublished drilling logs and reports for the St. Peter in the Illinois Basin. The data in columns A to S were imported from the ISGS wells and borings database. **All elevations and depths are in ft. The column headings are defined in the resource titled 'Porosity and Permeability Heading Descriptions'. The following column headings are defined below. Po_pct = primary porosity in percent Phi = formation porosity in phi units Hk_md = horizontal permeability in millidarcies Vk_md = vertical permeability in millidarcies Sw = water saturation So = oil saturation | Open resource |
