DOE Regional Partner Initiates Coal Seam CO2 Injection and Methane Recovery Study in Virginia

Green Car Congress

DOE’s Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB) began injecting CO 2 at the test site in Russell County, Virginia, in mid-January. Earlier, an existing coalbed methane well had been converted for CO 2 injection, and two wells has been drilled to monitor reservoir pressure, gas composition, and the CO 2 plume.

First-of-a-Kind Field Test for Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery with Simultaneous CO2 Sequestration

Green Car Congress

Injection of CO 2 began in a first-of-a-kind US Department of Energy–sponsored field trial of enhanced coalbed methane recovery with simultaneous CO2 sequestration in an unmineable coal seam. The field test is incorporating numerous site characterization and monitoring activities to ensure the safety and efficacy of CO2 injection.
