Integrated workflow for characterization of CO2 subsurface storage sites.

The world is in urgent need of Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) sites/facilities to achieve ambitious net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions goals. One way to store CO2 in significant quantities is to identify sufficiently largescale subsurface CCS sites. There is an immediate need to identify viable CCS storage sites fast. To do this, accessing regional quality broadband seismic information would be a significant move in that direction. An integrated G&G workflow has been developed and implemented over a proof-of-concept (PoC) area considering two aspects of the CCS storage: capacity and the containment. Other aspects of CCS, such as injectivity and monitoring, will be assessed at a later stage. The integrated reservoir geoscience CCS site assessment workflow allows local validation of the various technologies and workflows with the option to be applied regionally with the objectives being to evaluate the use of all data (seismic and wells) for an adequate capacity and containment assessment.
