Shallow Gas and Fault Analysis in the North Sea for CO2 Storage Assessment

A poster presented at the Fourth International Conference on Fault and Top Seals in Almeria, Spain, 20-24th September 2015. The work was funded by the UKCCS Research Centre under grant UKCCSRC-C1-14. It examines shallow gas accumulations in the Netherlands sector of the Southern North Sea to study their relationship with faulting and implications for CO2 storage operations.

Use Cases

• Study fault seal controls on CO2 storage capacity based on the described project focus.
• Analyze the relationship between shallow gas accumulations and faulting in the North Sea.
• Identify geological conditions for fault leakage to inform CO2 storage site selection.
• Compare attributes of leaking faults in the Southern North Sea region.

Strengths

• Poster presented at a specific international conference in September 2015.
• Work funded by a named research centre with a specific grant number (UKCCSRC-C1-14).
• Focuses on a specific geographic region: the Netherlands sector of the Southern North Sea.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
