  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;In order to complete the 2013 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) assessment of carbon dioxide (CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;) storage resources&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, a methodology was needed to determine the CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;storage efficiency of individual rock strata&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. The method that was used involved a storage efficiency approximation by MacMinn et al.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, combined with a brine viscosity model by Mao and Duan,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and thermal and pressure data from petroleum fields across basins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. The resulting efficiencies indicated that both salinity of the pore fluid and the thermal gradient have a strong effect on the amount of CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that strata could store.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
