What Is Red Trail Energy Up To In Stark County? Drilling A CO2 Injection Well So Their Ethanol Meets California Fuel Standards -- December 11, 2019

Recently I noted a "new" operator in the Bakken. Not quite correct. If as a new operator, one means drilling injection wells, then it's sort of correct (it's not in the Bakken either). Here's the story, also posted elsewhere:

December 11, 2019: what is Red Trail up to? From April 20, 2019, US News, a carbon capture project. Data points:

• this is being done to meet West Coast fuel standards
• the company recently completed a geophysical survey of eight square miles around the plant
• company's goal is to produce ethanol that will meet the low carbon fuel standards of California and/or the Pacific Northwest
• the company and the EERC are targeting the Broom Creek formation, about 6,400 feet below ground that area
• proposal: to inject about 160,000 metric tons of CO2 per year into the well
• leaks? can anyone say Aliso Canyon gas leak?
