Natural Analogs Research Opportunities
Travis L. McLing (INL\CAES) June 13th – RECS 2011
Birmingham, AL
CAES continues to develop meaningful R&D and educational collaborations among the State Universities, Idaho National Laboratory and private industry
CAES conducts research that makes a difference in energy, creates the workforce for the future, and leads to technology-based economic development
Progress to date: – CAES affiliates have won almost $17M in R&D grants and
contracts – Over 250 nuclear, engineering, and science students – Industry partnerships include: Premier, Blackhawk, Shell,
AREVA

Conclusion: analogs can they help?
• CO2 water rock interactions • Injectibility
– Injection strategy – Sustainability
• EOR • Environmental Risk
– Leakage – Contamination – Produced\displaced water
• Monitoring Measuring and Verification (MMA) • Characterization
– Estimates from range as high as $100 million to fully characterize a site for large-scale CCS deployment…perhaps 30-40 million before a decision can be made.
• Liability – Price Anderson model?
