Barron Well

  • High Resolution Isopach Map

shows that the AES Power Plant lies in what appears to have been a channel during deposition of the Queenston and therefore has a thicker section of the formation.

  • Capacity Calculations indicate

that the 25 square mile area surround the plant could hold up to 38.5 million tons of CO2 (16 years of output from the AES power plant).

Hydrothermal Dolomite Reservoirs

Whiteman #1 well

  • From County Line Field
  • Well has produced about 0.5 BCF to date
  • Vuggy porosity lines with saddle dolomite
  • Permeability up to >10 darcies in some whole core

The Galway Formation is made up of 3 sandy sections (Rose Run, B-Sand, C-Sand), 2 dolomitic sections (A- Dolomite and B-Dolomite), and 2 interbedded transition zones (Rose Run Interbedded and B-Interbedded) Although these sections may be labeled or depicted as sandstones and dolomites, the range of lithology more accurately varies from dolomitic sand to sandy dolomite.
