Presenting at the EAGE Conjugate Margins Conference
The Geological Carbon Storage Atlas of Eastern Canada, commissioned by Natural Resources Canada with support from carbon removal project developer Deep Sky and completed in conjunction with CanmetENERGY, will be presented by Neil Hackett at the upcoming 9th EAGE Conjugate Margin Conference & Exhibition. The Atlas provides a regional, reconnaissance‑scale assessment of CO₂ storage potential in deep saline aquifers and depleted or near‑depleted oil and gas reservoirs. An initial inventory of 37 basins, extending from the Quebec St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Maritimes, and Newfoundland and Labrador, were screened based on the availability and quality of well and seismic data, as well as availability of published regional geological interpretations. This screening resulted in 19 basins being retained for assessment. Of these, seven basins contained sufficient data to support quantitative estimates of CO₂ storage capacity and injectivity, while twelve basins were evaluated qualitatively to identify prospective storage complexes, defined as reservoir–seal (aquifer–seal) pairs. The remaining basins were excluded due to limited subsurface data.
