Estimation of rock mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal properties using wire-line log and core data from the FutureGen2.0 Site, well No. 1, Morgan County, Illinois

The FutureGen Industrial Alliance is planning for construction and operation of four Class VI underground CO2 injection wells in Morgan County, Illinois, USA. Wireline log and core data from the first stratigraphic well at the site were analyzed to evaluate rock mechanical, hydraulic, and thermal properties. Mineral volume fractions and other log-derived data were used with core data for estimation and calibration of parameters needed for reservoir modeling. The purpose of this work was to develop workflows for efficient data assimilation and parameterization of reservoir models for the site.
