FARNSWORTH UNIT PROJECT Pennsylvanian Upper Morrow Formation, Ochiltree County, Texas Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration

FARNSWORTH UNIT PROJECT Pennsylvanian Upper Morrow Formation, Ochiltree County, Texas Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration NATIONAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY July 2017 BACKGROUND The Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP), working with Chaparral Energy of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is conducting a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in northern Texas using anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂ ) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) within the Farnsworth Unit (FWU) in Ochiltree County, Texas. The SWP Region is in a unique position, geologically and technically, to take advantage of CCS opportunities. EOR and gas recovery operations in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah currently use a pipeline network to deliver predominantly naturally sourced CO₂ . The existing pipeline network is located near some of the region’s largest stationary CO₂ sources and about 20 percent of the region’s existing oil fields are within 12 miles.
