AZGS is working on assessing CO2 sequestration capacity in Tertiary sedimentary basins primarily in the Basin and Range part of Arizona as part of a DOE-funded project through the WestCarb coalition, and across the Colorado Plateau under a contract with the USGS.
The USGS announcement says "This catalog of basins is designed to provide a check list and basic geologic framework for compiling more detailed geologic and reservoir engineering data for this project and other future investigations."
