The multiphase flow and solute transport simulator STOMP has been used to assess potential carbon dioxide (CO2) injection rates into saline formations at several sites for the Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP). An injection test of approximately 10,000 metric tons into the Bass Islands Dolomite with CO2 injection rates from 250–500 tons per day, was performed in the test well at the MRCSP geologic field test site in Otsego County, Michigan, U.S.A, over a period of several weeks in February and March 2008. Reservoir simulations were performed to estimate injection parameters, such as bottomhole pressures and pressure response over time in the storage formation, and compared to measurements taken during the test.
