Grant Description

The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to request applications that develop technologies and simulation tools to ensure secure geologic storage of carbon dioxide. The Funding Opportunity Announcement addresses key Geologic Storage challenges and uncertainties that include the following: improving and validating containment; improving injection operations; increasing reservoir storage efficiency; and mitigating potential releases of carbon dioxide from the engineered containment system. The following four technical areas of interest will be addressed: Area of Interest 1 - Studies of Existing Wellbores Exposed to Carbon Dioxide; Area of Interest 2 - Advanced Wellbore Integrity Technologies; Area of Interest 3 - Field Methods to Optimize Capacity and Ensure Storage Containment; and Area of Interest 4 - Enhanced Simulation Tools to Improve Predictions and Enhance Performance of Geologic Storage.
