US EPA gives #WestVirginia primacy for Class VI (#CO2storage) wells: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/administrator-zeldin-approves-west-virginias-class-vi-primacy-application

I think there is a lot to dig out of that press release. Lots of "responsibility back to the states" but also a bit of "reduc[ing] emissions" and some forms of "take carbon emissions and turn them into an energy source", which I am not clear on.

My employer is hiring an Assistant Director for Geoscience and Engineering. You can be one of my bosses!

New paper! "Assessing pore network #heterogeneity across multiple scales to inform #CO2
injection models"

We looked at properties, fractal dimension, and Lorenz coefficients across spatial scales.

> The data used in this study included advanced image analysis
of micro-CT (computed tomography) images (pore scale), thin sections (pore scale), plugs and core images (core
scale) and well logs (well scale).

The Role of Salt Tectonics in the Energy Transition: Salt Tectonics may have a big role to play in providing heat for geothermal plants, CO2 storage, and holding tanks for hydrogen.

#introductions #introduction

Hello! I'm Matt, a geologist who works on subsurface characterization for #CO2 storage projects. My work address is in #GrandForks, #NorthDakota, USA, but I live across the river.

I plan to toot research from my group and other things related to #CO2storage characterization, but I will CW things that are directly #climatechange related.

I have a lot of other interests, and will add on to this toot as they come up.
