Upcoming Events• Injection test in Michigan (~Dec 2007 – Jan 2008)• Complete injection test plan for Burger

– Compression and injection from Powerspan source– Liquid CO2 from commercial source

• Drill injection well at East Bend (Late 2007 – early 2008)• Complete injection permits for Burger and East Bend• Injection testing at Burger (start ~ late summer 2008)• Injection testing at East Bend (start ~ late 2008)• Update web site to improve tracking of demos• Continue soil sampling and analysis for terrestrial tests

Proposed Phase III Geologic Test Sites

• Primary site– Inject 1 million tons of CO2

over a four-year period– Target is the Mt. Simon

reservoir, the largest deep saline target in our region.

• Optional site– Possible 2 million tons of

CO2 injection over four-year injection period

– Multiple injection zones and caprock layers

Ethanol Plant in Ohio

IGCC in Indiana

The TAME ethanol plant in Greenville, Ohio has been selected as the primary MRCSP Phase III test site

• TAME is a joint venture of The Andersons Inc. and Marathon Petroleum Company

• The Greenville plant is designed to produce 110 million gallons of ethanol per year

• As a result it will produce an estimated 280,000 tons of injection grade CO2 per year

• Plant startup is expected to occur early in 2008

• CO2 Injection operations are expected to begin in early FY ‘10

Comprehensive site characterization is planned for the Phase III test

• Regional geology• Seismic Survey• Test well Drilling• Rock core sampling/tests• Wireline logging• Rock-Water Testing• Geomechanical Analysis• Reservoir Testing• Reservoir Simulations

Phase III Measurement, Monitoring and Verification

• A comprehensive MMV program is planned for the large scale Phase III project.

• Specific design will be based on field data obtained in site characterization.
