Description: Potential target formation within study basin. Four parameters were considered in formation selection: (1) geographic distribution of CO2 sources; (2) appropriate depth, injectivity, and seal for the target; (3) adequate information to characterize the target; and (4) diverse geologic properties of the pool of selected formations.
