CCUS Hub 2.0 Concept for ONEOK: Infrastructure Development for Handling of New Gaseous Products for Natural Gas Liquids Fractionation and Gas Processing Plants in Kansas and Oklahoma
This study aims to identify potential CO2 reservoirs for long-term saline storage or Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in the area surrounding ONEOK natural gas liquids fractionation plants near Bushton, KS, and Medford, OK, as well as several gas processing plants in Oklahoma that emit ~1M tonnes of CO2 per year.
OneOK: Projects
The ONEOK project is one of the projects part of the Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership of the Western United States led by New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
The CUSP is a U.S. Department of Energy-funded (+$5M/year; 2019-2024) Regional Initiative established to accelerate onshore CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) technology deployment in the western region of the U.S.
​
The CUSP group is composed of state geological surveys (including the Kansas Geological Survey), universities, and national laboratories in 13 states.
Specifically, we are focusing on understanding the sedimentologic and stratigraphic nature of Mississippian rocks, which is critical for evaluation of potential subsurface reservoirs for CO2 storage.  This will be primarily accomplished by studying rock data from cores which in turn provides groundtruthing for subsurface data.
