Project Overview: Milestones for Anthropogenic Test February 28, 2011
2. The Anthropogenic Test Is Pursuing Ambitious Goals and Objectives In support of SECARB’s overall goal - - test and demonstrate safe, secure CO 2 injection and storage in regionally significant saline reservoirs - - the Anthropogenic Test has four objectives: 1. Support a fully integrated, commercial prototype CCS project (capture, transport and storage). 2. Test the CO 2 flow, trapping and storage mechanisms of the Paluxy Fm. , a regionally extensive Gulf Coast saline formation. 3. Demonstrate how a saline reservoir’s architecture can be used to maximize CO 2 storage and minimize the areal extent of the CO 2 plume. 4. Test the adaptation of commercially available oil field tools and techniques for monitoring CO 2 storage (e. g. , VSP, cross-well seismic, cased-hole neutron logs, tracers, pressure, etc. ).

4. Selecting a Safe, Secure High CO 2 Storage Capacity Site CO 2 storage at the Citronelle Dome will be into the Lower Cretaceous fluvial Paluxy saline formation. Cretaceous-age fluvial deposition systems, while accounting for a significant portion of U. S. CO 2 storage capacity, pose numerous challenges (risks), particularly: l Providing sufficient sand continuity to provide an “open system” for favorable CO 2 storage capacity. l Ensuring adequate permeability to serve as an economically efficient CO 2 storage site. February 28, 2011
4. Selecting a Safe, Secure High CO 2 Storage Capacity Site (Cont’d) Gulf Coast Region Saline Reservoirs and Seals The Anthropogenic Test’s CO 2 Storage Site The saline formation selected for CO 2 injection has many favorable characteristics, is regionally significant, but is geologically challenging. l l Proven four-way closure at Citronelle Dome. Deep Lower Cretaceous Paluxy Fm (at 9, 400’). Numerous reservoir seals and confining units (at least 5). No evidence of faulting or fracturing, based on reinterpretation of existing 2 D seismic lines. Massive 1, 100 foot interval of stacked fluvial sands and shales. Confinin l g Zone However, prior to drilling the characterization Injectio n well, only limited data exist on the sand Zone continuity, porosity and permeability of the Paluxy Fm at Citronelle Dome.

Investing in Detailed Reservoir Characterization 9500 9600 ‘Upper Paluxy’ Sand Layer 9620 https: //mail. sseb. org/exchange 9700 Given the challenges posed by a thick, fluvial sequence of sands and shales, the project invested considerable time and effort on reservoir characterization: 9800 9900 10000 ‘Middle Paluxy’ Establishing Reservoir Continuity 10200 10300 10400 ‘Lower Paluxy’ 10500 Top of Mooringsport Detailed analysis of over 80 well logs for porosity and depositional style. l 10100 l Sand continuity mapping of nearly 30 sand intervals to determine “open” or “closed” sand units. Sand Layer 10060 We also collected analyzed data on the Paluxy Fm in other parts of the Gulf Coast region. February 28, 2011
5. Investing in Detailed Reservoir Characterization (Cont’d) Cross-Plot of Porosity vs. Permeability Establishing Adequate Permeability Like most saline formations, no data existed on the permeability of the Paluxy Fm at the storage site. To provide a “first order” assessment of permeability, we compiled sidewall core data for the Paluxy Fm from numerous areas in Alabama to develop a cross-plot of porosity versus permeability: l Lower trend line (A) represents assumed damaged sidewall core permeability. l B Higher trend line (B) represents assumed nondamaged sidewall core permeability. l However, other geologic factors could also be influencing the porosity vs. permeability cross-plots. A February 28, 2011
5. Investing in Detailed Reservoir Characterization (Cont’d) Building the Geologic Model CO 2 Injector (Near Well D 9 -7) Based on detailed characterization of the thick Paluxy sand/shale interval, we selected 17 sand units for CO 2 injection: l 343 net feet of sand l Average porosity of 19. 3% l Average (non-damaged) permeability of 88 md l Normal pressure and temperature gradients Subsequent reservoir characterization (currently underway) will help confirm and update the key CO 2 injectivity and storage capacity parameters. February 28, 2011
5. Investing in Detailed Reservoir Characterization (Cont’d) Confirming and Refining Our Reservoir Characterization At the end of December 2010, we began drilling the Paluxy reservoir characterization well, D 9 -8 #2, at the Citronelle Dome. l Well drilled to 11, 800’ TD (spud to TD) in 30 days and under budget. l Recovered extensive whole core (98 feet in two intervals) plus 45 sidewall cores in the two confining units, the above primary seal zone and the remaining CO 2 storage zone. l Ran full set of logs (Triple Combo, MRI, Mineralogy, Dipole Sonic, CBL, etc. ). Well was cased and cemented in January, 2011 and will be used as an observation/monitoring well, particularly for working with the CO 2 Capture Project (CCP) to test their innovative modular borehole monitoring (MBM) system.

6. Conducting Rigorous Reservoir Modeling Understanding CO 2 Flow and Optimizing Storage Capacity Modeling the CO 2 Plume X-Sectional View of CO 2 Plume CO 2 Injection Well 3 D View of CO 2 Plume CO 2 Injection Well The information from detailed reservoir characterization is being used to model and optimize the CO 2 plume and mitigate risk of lower permeability: l Areal extent of CO 2 (less than 1, 000’ in any direction) will be limited by injection into multiple sand layers (taking advantage of reservoir architecture). l Planning for a second CO 2 injection well, which would serve as a monitoring well if permeability is sufficiently high. We will conduct a series of additional reservoir simulations to calibrate the geologic model and support MVA as the project progresses and new information is gathered. February 28, 2011
7. Making Major Investments in CO 2 Monitoring Design CO 2 Injection and Storage Site CO 2 Injector Cased-hole neutron logging Crosswell seismic/VSP Groundwater sampling Well D-11 Cased-hole neutron logging Wells D-4 -13 and D-4 -14 In- and above-zone monitoring Crosswell seismic/VSP Fluid sampling Groundwater sampling Characterization Well Cased-hole neutron logging Crosswell seismic/VSP The anthropogenic test will use five deep wells to track the CO 2 plume plus three shallow water monitoring wells: Near-surface and deep reservoir fluid sampling. l In-zone and above-zone pressure and temperature monitoring. l Cased-hole neutron logging. l Observation Well Cased-hole neutron logging Fluid sampling l Crosswell seismic and VSP. We are indebted to SECARB’s Early Test/BEG for monitoring guidance and to Denbury Onshore LLC for contributing three of their existing wellbores for monitoring. February 28, 2011
8. Addressing Risks and Mitigation Plans The Anthropogenic Test has spent considerable effort to address risks and incorporate consideration of these risks into a project plan. 1. Detailed site selection and characterization l Four-way closure at Citronelle Dome. l No evidence of faults or major fractures (based on existing seismic). l Multiple (5) confining units and seals. l Thick package of sands and shales. 2. Rigorous reservoir modeling of the CO 2 plume l Incorporation of reservoir architecture to limit areal extent of CO 2 plume. l Understanding of CO 2 trapping and immobilization mechanisms. l Plans for calibrating the reservoir model with monitoring data. February 28, 2011
8. Addressing Risks and Mitigation Plans (Cont’d) 3. We participated with DNV on incorporating our test site procedures into the “risk registry”. (See Attachment for additional details. ) l Assessed habitat for potential wildlife l Prepared contingency plans for low CO 2 injectivity l Formulated procedures for temporary lack of CO 2 delivery. 4. Comprehensive program of monitoring l Multiple cross-well seismic and consideration of VSP. l Adaptation of oil field tools to monitor CO 2 (e. g. , cased-hole neutron log, fluid sampling, downhole P/T). l Collaboration with CO 2 Capture Project for testing innovative MVA technology. February 28, 2011
9. Challenges, Lessons Learned and Accomplishments Four “lessons learned” and accomplishments for the Anthropogenic Test. 1. Lessons Learned. Planning and operating a fully integrated, commercial prototype CO 2 capture, transportation and storage project requires extensive negotiations and flexibility in plans and schedules. Accomplishment. The Anthropogenic Test storage team has adapted its schedule and managed its activities to match the Alabama Power’s CO 2 capture schedule and Denbury Resource’s CO 2 transportation schedule. 2. Lessons Learned. Selecting and gaining approval for a high quality, regionally significant saline formation for storing CO 2 is a major challenge. Accomplishment. The Anthropogenic Test storage team identified and gained access to the regionally extensive, low risk but geologically challenging Paluxy saline formation for storing CO 2. February 28, 2011
9. Challenges, Lessons Learned and Accomplishments (Cont’d) 3. Lessons Learned. Investing significant up-front time and effort in problem identification and risk avoidance was crucial for securing a safe, secure CO 2 storage site. Accomplishment. The Anthropogenic Test storage team conducted extensive evaluation of the casing programs and cement integrity of the older wells surrounding the CO 2 storage site to assure an acceptable “area of review” for CO 2 injection and storage. 4. Lessons Learned. Investing in detailed site and reservoir characterization, particularly in a fluvial, complex formation such as the Paluxy, is essential for ensuring adequate CO 2 storage capacity, safe CO 2 injection operations, and effective CO 2 monitoring. Accomplishment. The Anthropogenic Test storage team conducted (and is now updating) flow unit by flow unit descriptions of reservoir continuity and injectivity to enable the team formulate a well design and completion scheme that would minimize the areal extent of the CO 2 plume.
