Early Test Denbury Resources’ Cranfield Field Near Natchez, Mississippi SECARB Phase III SECARB Early Test was recognized by DOE for furthering CCS technology and meeting G-8 goals for deployment of 20 similar projects by The Early Test is the fifth project worldwide to reach the CO 2 injection volume of one million tonnes and the first in the U.S. - (DOE Techline, 11/05/2009) 4 Anthropogenic Test Capture: Alabama Power ‘s Plant Barry, Bucks, Alabama Transportation: Denbury Onshore LLC Geo Storage: Denbury’s Citronelle Field, Citronelle, Alabama

RCSP Program Goals – Early Test Predict storage capacities within +/- 30% Well known based upon production history; Early Test advanced the understanding of efficiency of pore-volume occupancy (E factor). Success metrics: Measure saturation during multiphase plume evolution (completed). Increase predictive capabilities (modeling underway). Evaluate protocols to demonstrate that 99% of CO 2 is retained Permanence of geologic system well understood prior to test because of retention of large volumes of methane. Retention uncertainties lie in well performance. Early Test is evaluating methods to assess well performance. Success metrics: Measure changes above the injection zone along well, above zone monitoring interval (AZMI), and at surface (P-site) over long times (underway). Contribute to development of Best Practices Manuals Early Test researchers have contributed to Best Practices Manuals on MVA, characterization, risk and modeling. Assistance has been provided on related protocol development, including IOGCC (U.S.), Pew Center accounting study (U.S.), IPAC-CO 2 (Canada), and CO 2 -Care (EU). 5

RCSP Project Goals – Early Test Goal 1 - Adequate Injectivity and Capacity Advanced the understanding of efficiency of pore-volume occupancy (E factor) by measuring the saturation during multiphase plume evolution. Anticipate increasing predictive capabilities through modeling. Goal 2 - Storage Permanence Although well understood prior to test, assessed methods for documenting well performance, which include: – Measure changes above the injection zone along well, above zone monitoring interval (AZMI), and at surface (P site) over long times (underway) Goal 3 - Areal Extent of Plume and Potential Leakage Pathways Measured down-dip extent of plume via VSP and 4-D seismic to improve the uncertainty regarding the radial flow (down dip/out of pattern) in the 4-way closure. Increase predictive capabilities through modeling Goal 4 -Risk Assessment Saline storage site is located in EOR field with operator owning CO 2. Use Early Test to advance risk assessment techniques and share information. Completed certification framework assessment of leakage risk. Confirmed well performance as highest uncertainty and focus of monitoring research. 6

RCSP Project Goals – Early Test Goal 5 - Develop Best Practices Participated in developing BPMs for MVA, characterization, risk and reservoir modeling. Goal 6 - Public Outreach and Education On-site outreach handled by Landmen. SSEB and Early Team focus on O&E in public and technical arenas. Hosted site visits, responses to local and trade media, Fact Sheets, and website postings of project information. Goal 7 - Improvement of Permitting Requirements Permits obtained by site operator. Project team focus is on development of regulatory framework for GHG. Provided experience with monitoring instruments and well performance to decision makers. 7

Project Overview: Scope of Work Task 1.0: Continued Characterization of Regional Sequestration Opportunities – Assessment of regionally significant formations (saline); update of CO 2 sources; regional/national Atlas updates; participation in RCSP capacity work group. Task 2.0: Public Outreach and Education – Local (field test), regional, national, and international public outreach and education. Task 3.0: Site Permitting – Identification and submittal of required site permitting (EQs, EAs, drilling and injection permits from Miss. Oil and Gas Board). Task 4.0: Site Characterization and Modeling – Detailed site characterization (existing data and new data collection) Task 5.0: Well Drilling and Completion – Design and completion of observation and injection wells (Sandia Tech/Denbury) 10

Project Overview: Scope of Work Task 6.0: Infrastructure Development – Mostly provided by Denbury. Enlarge well pad, electricity for MVA Task 7.0: CO 2 Procurement – Procure additional CO 2 to meet project metric. Task 8.0: Transportation and Injection Operations – Transportation and injection operations provided by Denbury Task 9.0: Operational Monitoring and Modeling – Early Test surface and subsurface monitoring, data collection, and modeling. Task 10.0: Site Closure – Early Test discontinuation plan: Denbury continue commercial injection for decades Task 11.0: Post-Injection Monitoring and Modeling – Time lapse monitoring and model updates to history match; RCSP MVA Work Group participation. 11

Project Overview: Scope of Work Task 12.0: Project Assessment – Site-specific, regional and Partnership-wide findings. Task 13.0: Project Management – Local project management for field sites and overall project management and oversight. Task 14.0: Does Not Exist – A pipeline study was proposed for Phase III but was later added to the Phase II program instead. Task 15.0, which was proposed at the same time, was added to the Phase III program. The task numbers were not changed, so there is no Task 14.0 in the Phase III SOW. Task 15.0: Preliminary Evaluation of Offshore Transport and Storage of CO 2 – Resource mapping offshore Gulf of Mexico (state and federal waters); infrastructure inventory; legal and regulatory analysis; outreach and education regarding findings. 12
