CCS stakeholders can now assess the carbon storage potential of saline aquifers along the US Gulf Coast. Seismic data along with a combination of effective porosity, net formation thickness, and temperature and pressure models, are used to provide quantitative insights into the CO2 storage capacity of aquifers. These models can be visualized and evaluated via Carbon AXIOM, our simple, interactive, web-based platform.
- Seismic–well log tie
- Stratigraphic interpretation of saline aquifer intervals
- Petrophysical models – effective porosity, net thickness, temperature, pressure
- Raster grid development of reservoir attributes
- CO2 storage capacity calculation
Assess the carbon storage potential of depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs along the US Gulf Coast. Production data, bottom hole temperatures, pressure reports, and reservoir characterizations are combined to provide quantitative insights into the CO2 storage capacity of depleted reservoirs. These depleted reservoir models can be visualized and evaluated via our easy-to-use, interactive web platform, Carbon AXIOM.
Depleted Hydrocarbon Reservoir Assessment Process:
- Well production allocation at each formation level
- Temperature assignment at each producing interval
- Pressure assignment at each producing interval
- Grouped reservoir data into pool to estimate storage capacity
- Summarizing key data attributes per storage unit
- Generating the nearest and largest proximity storage pools
