CONCLUDING
THOUGHTS
Major
sequestraEon
and
enhanced
recovery
capacity
in
coal-bearing
rocks
(P50
~
2
Gt).
Dual
porosity
systems;
coal
is
stress-sensiEve.
SedimentaEon
in
uvial-deltaic
systems;
saline
reservoirs
in
shoreline
sandstone.
At
Stop
1
we
will
examine
a
classic
deltaic
secEon
with
a
reservoir-quality
coal
seam.
At
Stop
2
we
will
examine
heterogeneous
shoreline
sandstone
representaEve
of
saline
reservoirs
in
the
subsurface.
