Energy data provider TGS is expanding its CO2 Storage Assessment initiative to include seven additional basins across the Gulf Coast and western Midwest, the company said in a Feb. 12 press release.
TGS provides information to aid in successful carbon sequestration, including basin-scale stratigraphy, reservoir properties, formation penetration and the associated risks related to pressure and seals.
The new basins include the Central Gulf Coast鈥揌aynesville and the Uinta, Piceance, Greater Green River, Wind River, Powder River and the Greater Williston basins.
TGS鈥� expansion of the CO2 sequestration assessment complements the company鈥檚 existing models in the Midwest-Northeast regions (Illinois, Michigan and Appalachian basins) and the Gulf Coast (East Gulf Coast and Gulf Coast regions).
TGS offers insight into potential storage sites with detailed mapping of stratigraphic architecture and petrophysical properties, said Will Ashby, TGS鈥� executive vice president of New Energy Solutions, in the press release.
鈥淏y leveraging quad combo log data, inferred curves, core samples, bottom hole temperatures and wireline formation tests, we are equipping the industry with precise evaluations of storage capacities,鈥� Ashby said. 鈥淭hese assessments also incorporate analyses of seal thicknesses to evaluate containment potential, ensuring a robust understanding of storage feasibility.鈥�
