Description
The
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through
the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has released DE-FOA-0001826 entitled
“Developing Technologies to Advance the Understanding of State
of Stress and Geomechanical Impacts Within
the Subsurface“.
The Carbon Storage Program’s Advanced Storage R&D
Technology Area supports research to develop technologies that improve storage
efficiency and containment and reduce the risks associated with carbon storage
operations. Subsurface research challenges are multidisciplinary and
affect a broad range of industries including carbon storage, oil and gas, and
geothermal technologies. To continue to use subsurface energy sources such as
fossil fuels, a carbon management approach capable of lowering industrial
emissions in a manner that is both economically and publicly acceptable in the
long-term is desirable. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)
focuses on: 1) development of capabilities to better measure and understand the
in-situ state of stress, which is a key variable in predicting geomechanical
impacts, and 2) development of capabilities to predict the pressure migration
and the geomechanical impacts of this pressure in
the storage complex. The effort represents a key R&D technology
development path toward ensuring secure and verifiable storage.
