The document discusses preliminary work to characterize potential sites in Central Appalachia for carbon sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane recovery. The objectives are to delineate and characterize saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas fields for secondary carbon storage. Current progress includes defining study areas and developing maps for two coalbed methane fields, processing geophysical logs, correlating coal seams, and collecting geologic data. Future work involves constructing subsurface models, evaluating deeper strata for carbon dioxide storage potential, integrating core and production data.
