CDL designed a database that integrates proprietary and public datasets comprising formation tops, production forecasts, temperature models, pressure profiles, and reservoir and fluid characteristics. These standardized attributes provide a basis to compare and rank CO₂ storage opportunities over large areas based on estimates of CO₂ storage capacity, uncertainties and risk elements.
Hydrocarbon pools were generated in a GIS by combining wells within a field producing from the same geologic formations; pools were aggregated to storage units by combining laterally contiguous pore spaces within equivalent reservoir units. About 7,000 potential storage units over 87,000 square miles were assessed.
Carbon AXIOM is an online prospecting/screening tool designed to screen and assess depleted oil and gas pools for suitability to sequester CO₂, and as EOR candidates across southeastern Texas, southern Louisiana and southern Mississippi. The unique value of Carbon AXIOM lies in the standardized attributes that provide a basis for comparing carbon storage opportunities over a large area. The data include consistent volumetrics with risk and confidence assessments and prospect ranking based on various criteria. Users can visualize and filter the opportunities using TGS' user-friendly Carbon AXIOM web application, and emitters can identify potential storage sites near their facilities.
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.
