The proposed permits are for Class VI UIC wells at a geologic sequestration site in southeast Wyoming in Laramie County. The draft permits for the UIC Class VI injection well proposes to inject carbon dioxide, for the purpose of storage, into the Lyons Sandstone at approximate depths between 8,615 to 9,511 feet below ground surface. The expected quantity of carbon dioxide for storage for these five wells is approximately one-hundred and twenty-five (125) million metric tons.
The UIC Program has determined the permittee has satisfied all requirements of Wyoming Water Quality Rules Chapter 24 and Wyoming Statutes 35-11-313 through 35-11-320, contingent on receipt of a unitization order from the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
