Introduction: the u.s. Geological survey (usgs) energy resources program (erp) conducts investigations into the geologic framework and energy potential in various areas of the united states. After completing the national regional assessment of carbon dioxide (co2) storage potential in geologic formations in 2013, the usgs erp utilization of carbon and other energy gasesa?geologic research and assessments project currently conducts focused, more detailed geological studies and assessments of selected basins with high potential for co2 sequestration; conducts geologic studies of natural and anthropogenic co2 storage sites; has developed a methodology and conducts assessments of enhanced oil recovery (eor) associated with co2 injection; and investigates unconventional co2 storage reservoirs (such as coal and shale beds) and evaluates their sequestration potential. The usgs erp gulf coast petroleum systems project is charged with advancing the understanding of processes that affect the formation, accumulation, occurrence, and alteration of geologically-based energy resources; and conducting assessments of undiscovered oil and gas resources of the u.s. Gulf coast. And the geochemistry of fuels project conducts geologic, geochemical, microbiological, and structural factors research to understand control on the production, quality, and composition of coal, petroleum, and nucle...
