Geoscience Australia's assessment of CO2 storage potential in the offshore Vlaming Sub-basin, part of the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan. The study integrates seismic, well, and marine datasets to evaluate the Early Cretaceous Gage Sandstone reservoir and the South Perth Shale seal. It estimates up to 1 GT of CO2 can be stored in the laterally extensive reservoir unit.
Use Cases
- Model CO2 plume migration based on reservoir depth and thickness parameters
- Assess seal integrity risks for long-term storage security based on the described regional seal
- Estimate regional storage capacity based on the reservoir's lateral extent and thickness
- Plan injection site locations based on proximity to industrial polluters in Perth
Strengths
- Integrates multiple data types: seismic, well, and marine datasets
- Focuses on a laterally extensive reservoir unit over 1,500 km2
- Provides a concrete storage capacity estimate of up to 1 GT of CO2
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
Provenance
- Source
- Australian Ocean Data Network
- Collection Method
- Interpretation and integration of seismic, well, and marine datasets, both existing and newly acquired.
