Carbon Capture (CCUS)
Premier Corex is at the leading edge of Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS)
Use our extensive experience and lab capabilities to identify and de-risk subsurface locations for CO₂ sequestration.
Our Areas of Focus and Advantage:
Refine site characterization to collect data required by EPA Class VI UIC well guidelines
Characterization of injection zone:
Establish stratigraphy and facies to understand injection zone architecture
Quantify mineralogy, CO₂-reactive mineralogy, porosity, and permeability
Determine appropriate injection pressure calibrated to rock strength data
Compatibility of injectate with formation fluids and lithologies
Evaluate potential for liberation of trace metals due to induced decreased pH
Verify confining zone integrity:
Determine mechanical rock strength for seal capacity & geomechanics models
Understand flow properties & effectiveness of seal in inhibiting migration of CO₂
Describe & quantify transmissibility of faults & fractures
Establish empirical fluid-CO₂-rock reactivity effects on seal integrity
Delineate area of review using geologic sequestration computational modeling informed by laboratory measurements
Utilize cuttings and core housed at the Premier Sample Library & partner repositories to establish a baseline characterization of prospective CCS formations
Our Experience:
CarbonSAFE Program Phase II participant
Extensive experience in geological characterization of all injection zone lithologies
Recognized leader in assessing formation damage from injection into oil & gas reservoirs
Proprietary rock mechanics workflow optimized for testing seal units
Recognized for core analysis advisory & consulting in CCS subsurface industry
