Federal officials on Monday released their draft environmental study for a pioneering carbon sequestration project proposed for western Wyoming that could boost the state's burgeoning underground CO₂ storage industry.

Cimarex Energy of Denver is proposing to construct the large-scale carbon sequestration project as part of its Rand Butte Project along the Wyoming Range in southwest Wyoming.

Company officials believe the $100M effort would be the largest sequestration project in the world and when completed, the plant could also account for about 30% of the world's helium production.

The Bureau of Land Management released a federal environmental study for public review that looks exclusively at the federal components of the plant project.

Those components include the drilling and completing of the gas source wells, and the construction of pipelines, electric transmission lines and monitoring stations.

The agency scheduled an open house February 11 in Marbleton to discuss the document.
