CDL investigated available public data across NE BC using protocols and techniques based on 35+ years of geological, hydrogeological and engineering expertise to provide an inventory of favourable geological formations and locations for carbon sequestration in the Northeast BC Geological Carbon Capture and Storage Atlas.
Not applicable
CDL's assessment of 12 geological formations found that 4,230 Mt of carbon dioxide could potentially be stored in formations across NE BC, and can provide industry the knowledge to help reduce carbon footprints and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Highlights include:
This Atlas provides information on the geology and reservoir characteristics of saline aquifers and depleted pools in NE BC, assessing their feasibility for captured carbon dioxide storage. It offers estimated geological storage potential and recommended areas of focus and is a comprehensive resource for industries looking to sequester CO2 emissions in order to meet British Columbia’s Climate Change Accountability Act.
The NE BC Geological Carbon Capture and Storage Atlas is a valuable tool for industry, government, and research institutions looking to understand and utilize the carbon storage potential in Northeast British Columbia.
With over $30 million invested, CDL's Technical Studies Library offers a one-of-a-kind resource for the E&P industry—covering petroleum systems, basin analysis, hydrogeology, and migration modeling across the WCSB, Williston Basin, and beyond.
