Data compiled from over 900 wells across major Australian sedimentary basins assesses conditions for CO2 solubility trapping. The dataset includes total dissolved solid (TDS) concentration of formation water, a key variable controlling CO2 solubility and fluid density. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Model CO2 solubility in formation water based on TDS concentration
- Assess fluid density changes for advection and downward migration rates
- Evaluate long-term storage safety for CO2 sequestration projects
- Compare trapping mechanisms across different Australian sedimentary basins
Strengths
- Data compiled from over 900 wells provides a substantial sample size
- Focuses on TDS concentration, a key variable for CO2 solubility modeling
- Targets major Australian sedimentary basins for regional assessment
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au
