Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub Project Completes First Deep Characterization Well
Published May 05, 2025
A significant carbon management project led by Frontier Carbon Solutions LLC (Frontier) -- in partnership with the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources (SER) -- has completed the drilling of a deep characterization well. Drilling on a second well will begin as part of an effort to explore potential permanent carbon storage in southwest Wyoming. Frontier’s project, the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub (SCS Hub), is the beneficiary of a grant from the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management’s Carbon Storage Assurance Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) Initiative funded through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Alongside grant support from DOE and the Wyoming Energy Authority, Frontier is developing the SCS Hub to be a permanent carbon management solution to serve Wyoming’s critical hydrocarbon and mining industries, including trona mining operations and natural gas processing.
