WILLISTON BASIN RESOURCE STUDY FOR COMMERCIAL-SCALE SUBSURFACE HYDROGEN STORAGE Final Report

Summary

This final report addresses the challenge of identifying suitable subsurface geological formations for commercial-scale hydrogen storage in the Williston Basin, particularly within North Dakota, to support the growing hydrogen economy. The study involved detailed laboratory analyses of rock and well materials, engineering simulations for various storage types (saline, depleted oil/gas, salt caverns), and a basin-wide assessment of potential sites. The research, completed by December 2025, provides a comprehensive evaluation of the geological and engineering feasibility for hydrogen storage in the region.
