Abstract

Summary

A multi-criteria basin-scale screening methodology is presented with the aim to rank possible CO2 storage sites for future detailed analyses and potential CO2 injection permitting applications. The methodology presented here focuses on a basin-scale assessment of the geological formations in the UK and Norwegian North Sea area focusing on the geology, the injectivity of the reservoirs and the geochemical and geomechanical properties. This screening process developed by CGG is called the Storage Play Quality Index (SPQI) and it combines geology, stratigraphy, petrophysics, reservoir engineering, geochemistry, geomechanics and data science to assess the storage quality of selected geological formations in the Northern North Sea area for the permanent storage of CO2. The regional-scale SPQI can be applied to any geographic region, both offshore and onshore, with sufficient input data.
