Offshore CO2 Storage Containment Risk Assessment for Vlaming Sub-basin

Geoscience Australia evaluated the Gage Sandstone and South Perth Shale formations for long-term CO2 storage as part of the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan. The assessment analyzed seismic data for fault reactivation and potential hydrocarbon seepage anomalies. The study was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, with metadata last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Correlate seismic anomaly features with reactivated fault data to assess seal integrity for CO2 storage.
• Map spatial variability in seal quality using geological formation data like the Gage Sandstone and South Perth Shale.
• Analyze fault reactivation history from seismic data to evaluate containment risk for petroleum exploration.

Strengths

• Assessment conducted by Geoscience Australia, a national geological survey authority.
• Analysis includes correlation of specific seismic anomalies with reactivated fault data.

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and specific column structure are unknown.
• Primary data files are in document formats (DOCX, PDF), not structured for direct computational analysis.
• Temporal coverage and specific geographic coordinates for the Vlaming Sub-basin are not detailed.
