Identify CO₂ Storage Potential with On-demand Screening

The energy transition is driven by the need to help mitigate climate change through progressive global switching to lower carbon energy sources. Alongside this, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies can provide a means to mitigate hard-to-abate emissions such as those related to industrial and energy systems. However, one of the key geological challenges is understanding where exactly are these large amounts of CO₂ going to be stored?

The identification and characterization of the subsurface may not be  easy, particularly for storage sites capable of safely housing CO₂ for long timescales. While depleted oil and gas fields represent some of the best understood and commercially viable targets, there are simply not enough of them (or their long-term storage integrity may present a potential concern). Saline aquifers (porous and permeable reservoir horizons that contain saline fluid as opposed to hydrocarbons), have a larger storage potential, and may be located closer to sources of emissions.

Neftex^® Predictions, a DecisionSpace^® 365 solution, can help you adapt traditional hydrocarbon workflows to identify carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage sites in the subsurface. By leveraging more than 20 years of expertise in gathering geological content from the public domain, and integrating it within a global tectono-stratigraphic framework, we are now able to combine all that information with state-of-the-art geoprocessing technology. In this edition, we also showcase how FairwayFinder, our DecisionSpace^® 365 cloud-based application, can provide you with a toolkit for on-demand geological and fairway evaluations.
