TGS is developing a CO 2 storage risk assessment atlas for North America in collaboration with consultancy firm Canadian Discovery Ltd.
TGS is developing a CO2 storage risk assessment atlas for North America in collaboration with consultancy firm Canadian Discovery Ltd.
The atlas, designed for use as a screening and assessment tool for subsurface carbon storage sites, will consist of an interpretation data set delivered in a digital atlas format. Data will be visualized via TGS’ Pathfinder app for instant, interactive analysis of potential CCS hubs and subsurface information to assess existing geologic resources potentially suitable for carbon storage.
The digital atlas data will include consistent volumetrics with risk and confidence assessments and prospect ranking based on various criteria, along with supporting data appendices. The first phase of the atlas project will focus on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and depleted reservoirs in the US onshore Gulf Coast region and will be available in Q3, 2021.
The TGS data library holds more than 9 million well logs, including Analytics Ready LAS (ARLAS) products. Onshore interpretation products include 19 key basins covered by basin temperature models (BTMs) and have more than a million hand-interpreted formation tops.
‘TGS positioned to develop this tool by leveraging its subsurface data and knowledge,’ said Katja Akentieva, vice president of TGS New Energy Solutions for the Western Hemisphere.
