Concluding Remarks
● Reservoir model consistent with all available data
● Injection rate ramp-up time (P10-P90): 10 - 80 days
● CO2 mass partitioning (P10-P90): ― 15 - 25% CO2 dissolved by 2062 ― 40 - 65% CO2 residually trapped by 2062
● Plume containment and Area of Review (AOR): ― No vertical migration above 6,350 ft ― Spatial extent (P10-P90): 134.5 - 254 Acres by 2062 (N-NW) ― AOR (P10-P90): 450 - 630 ft radius during injection (ΔP = 184psi)
● Verification well: probability estimates for Westbay responses
