oa Unlocking Carbon Storage Potential of Stratigraphic Traps in Saudi Arabia

This study evaluates Late Cretaceous Turonian sandstones forming stratigraphic traps in Saudi Arabia for the purpose of carbon capture and storage (CCS). The primary objectives encompassed assessment of a traps formation, seal integrity, reservoir capacity and injectivity through paleo-reconstruction, depositional systems and petrographic analysis, controlling factors delineation, play fairway assessment and ultimately static and dynamic total storage system modelling. In addition, the research aimed to validate a proprietary, multidisciplinary Carbon Storage Technical Workflow to deliver opportunities from early identification to maturation of drill-ready prospect.
