CCS world projects: SWP Farnham Dome
The Farnham Dome project is a CO2 sequestration demonstration project the Southwest Partnership (SWP) has planned for Phase III, the Deployment Phase. The SWP intends to accomplish a major deep saline sequestration deployment in an area known as Farnham Dome in Central Utah. This test will follow an injection schedule over 4 years (2008-2011), leading up to 900,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. The target formations are deep saline units present throughout the Southwest Partnership region, as well as in many states outside the region. The area provides an excellent deployment test opportunity for analysis of high injection rates and high-resolution monitoring of CO2 in multiple rock layer horizons. These deep saline formations are major targets for commercial-scale sequestration associated with future coal-fired power plants planned for the area.
