A Correction on
Estimation of dynamic geologic CO2 storage resources in the Illinois basin, including effects of brine extraction, anisotropy, and hydrogeologic heterogeneity

by Plampin MR, Anderson ST, Finsterle S and Wiens AM (2025). Front. Earth Sci. 13:1639952. doi: 10.3389/feart.2025.1639952

There was a mistake in Figure 2 as published. The State of Iowa was mis-labeled as the State of Wisconsin in the image of the map of the study area in the figure. The corrected Figure 2 appears below.

Figure 2
Map showing a region covering parts of Illinois, Indiana, and neighboring states. It outlines different geologic storage units considered: Mt. Simon Sweet Spot (brown), Silurian-Devonian (red), St. Peter (blue), and Potosi (green). The gray-shaded area with dots indicated the entire Mt. Simon storage unit. Latitude and longitude markings are present along the borders, with a scale bar included for distance reference.

Figure 2. Outlines of the shallower injection units investigated in this study (colored lines) are superimposed on the shaded area, which represents the extent of the Mount Simon Sandstone Storage Assessment Unit from the USGS CO2 storage resource assessment (U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Carbon Dioxide Storage Resources Assessment Team, 2013). “Mt. Simon” refers to the Mount Simon Sandstone, “Potosi” refers to the Potosi Dolomite, and “St. Peter” refers to the St. Peter Sandstone. Within the Mt. Simon, the outline of a potential CO2 storage “sweet spot”, as defined by Anderson and Jahediesfanjani (2019), is also displayed. Dots represent modeled injection-well locations with a uniform 25 km × 25 km well-spacing (from Plampin et al., 2023).
