CONTAIN project data addresses uncertainties in using depleted UK hydrocarbon reservoirs for storing 2-5 billion tonnes of CO2. The British Geological Survey generated this dataset through laboratory experiments and computer simulation to model reservoir and caprock behavior during depletion and CO2 reinflation. It provides physical data and modeling tools to assess financial and environmental risks for carbon capture and storage schemes.
Use Cases
- Model caprock integrity under hydrocarbon depletion and CO2 reinflation scenarios using project simulation data
- Assess deformation and fault movement risks in depleted UK reservoirs with laboratory experiment findings
- Analyze public attitudes and stakeholder acceptability factors for CCS storage site development
- Evaluate the adaptation potential of pre-existing oil and gas infrastructure for CO2 injection schemes
Strengths
- Addresses a critical data gap for a national resource with a potential capacity of 9 billion tonnes of CO2 storage
- Combines laboratory experiments and computer simulation for a multi-method understanding of rock behavior
- Generated by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS) to inform regulators and operators
Limitations
- Limited physical data available for specific rock types and scenarios, as noted in the project description
- Dataset scope and structure (rows, columns, format) are unspecified in the provided input
