The geological storage assessment in the Fernie Basin of southeast British Columbia involved evaluating the potential for storing carbon dioxide in the subsurface formations in the area. This included analyzing and compiling geology, hydrodynamics and properties of the formations to determine their suitability for CO2 storage. Storage potential was estimated for selected storage complexes with sufficient porosity, net reservoir thickness and containment.
The client wanted to define the risks and uncertainties associated with depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and saline aquifers for the long-term geologic storage of CO2 within the Fernie Basin in southeastern British Columbia. The goal of the project was to identify and screen potential storage sites that have risked storage capacity of over fifty Mega Tonnes.
