The Kansas Geological Survey has received a nearly $5 million federal grant to study the feasibility of storing carbon dioxide underground.
The grant is the largest ever received by the Kansas Geological Survey, and was awarded with federal stimulus dollars.
The three-year project will include scientists from the Kansas Geological Survey, Kansas University, Kansas State University and two Wichita-based firms — Berexco Inc. and Bittersweet Energy Inc.
Research will be done on the Wellington oil and gas field in Sumner County south of Wichita, which has produced 20 million barrels of oil since 1927.
Researchers also plan to model the use of industry-emitted carbon dioxide to squeeze out trapped oil and gas unreachable by traditional methods.
