Major Projects and Initiatives
- Micro Scale Nitrogen Rejection Plant
- Demonstration of a low cost 2-tower micro scale N2 rejection system to upgrade low-btu gas from stripper wells
- Mesaverde Tight Gas Sandstone Petrophysical Properties
- A U.S. DOE supported project that samples the Mesaverde tight gas sandstone across six western US basins and measures critical petrophysical properties
- SEISKARST
- Improved Geologic and Engineering Models of Midcontinent Fracture and Karst-Modified Reservoirs using New 3-D Seismic Attributes. Kansas Geological Survey and Allied Geophysical Labs-University of Houston
- NATCARB
- The successor to MICDCARB, NATCARB brings together 5 regional coalitions to explore choices for geologic sequestration of CO2.
- Coalbed Methane Project
- The Kansas Geological Survey's Coalbed Methane Program is designed to provide access to data and to study coal distribution and quality.
- Hugoton Assest Management Project (HAMP)
- A collaboration between the Kansas Geological Survey and industry partners with the primary goals being modeling the Permian gas systems of the Hugoton and Panoma Fields in southwest Kansas and Oklahoma Panhandle and building a digital pools catalogue for the pre-Permian fields in southwest Kansas.
- Field Demonstration of CO2 Miscible Flooding in the Lansing-Kansas City, Central Kansas
- The test focuses on a 10-acre patch in the Hall-Gurney field, about 7 miles southeast of Russell.
- MIDCARB
- MIDCARB is a project that will build a digital spatial database for five states that will allow users to identify the amount of CO2 available for sequestration in relation to a source supply, the geologic security and safety of a sequestration site, the long-term effects on a reservoir, and the cost of compression and transport of CO2 between source and sequestration site.
- GEMINI Project
- GEMINI (Geo-Engineering Modeling through Internet Informatics) is an interactive, integrated Website designed to construct real-time geo-engineering reservoir models.
- CO2 Project
- An Energy Research Center intititive to explore the use of CO2 to enhance oil recovery in Kansas.
- Class 2 Improved Oil Recovery in Mississippian Carbonate Reservoirs of Kansas
- An Energy Research Center project to introduce Kansas producers to potentially useful technologies and to demonstrate these technologies in actual oil field operations.
- Hugoton Project
- An industry-, university- and govenment-funded consortium whose purpose is to develop technology and information to better understand the oil and gas resources of the Hugoton Embayment in southwest Kansas.
- Digital Petroleum Atlas
- A prototype allowing the KGS to display detailed geologic, well, geophysical, and regional information for chosen fields in Kansas. The DPA has several data bases that can be accessed.
