Evaluating the Feasibility of Hydrogen Storage in Depleted Fields in Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin

In the Disspatch H₂: Developing and Investigating Subsurface Storage Potential and Technical Challenges for Hydrogen project, GTI Energy is assessing the feasibility of underground hydrogen storage complexes with funding support from the Department of Energy. The project aims to confirm the viability of utilizing depleted oil and gas reservoirs for hydrogen storage, determining potential storage capacities, timelines for implementation, operational strategies, and associated risks. It also includes planning for risk mitigation and monitoring, hydrogen sourcing and transportation logistics, analysis of contractual and regulatory requirements, economic feasibility assessments, and planning for field deployment.

Community benefits are anticipated through the development of a potential workforce in the hydrogen storage industry and broader community impacts from increased adoption of underground hydrogen storage. The project emphasizes public access to findings from workforce and community assessments, ensuring that data relevant to communities is presented in accessible formats.

Key outcomes include aligning with the Justice40 Initiative to promote energy and environmental justice benefits, assessing positive economic impacts through the expansion of underground hydrogen storage across the midcontinent region, and creating job opportunities informed by Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) principles.
