The Kansas Geological Survey based at the University of Kansas has received a nearly $5 million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE) to study the feasibility of storing carbon dioxide underground. Kansas Geological Survey geologists Lynn Watney and Saibal Bhattacharya are leading the investigation. Lynn Watney.

A study by the University of Kansas Center for Research funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) has established the feasibility of using near-miscible CO 2 injection for recovering between 250 million and 500 million additional barrels of oil from Kansas oilfields. The Arbuckle Formation has produced 36% (2.2
