Does Size Matter – Just how big does a Baseline Seismic Survey have to be?
An Australian E&P company, operating in the carbon storage space, needed to carry out a detailed 3D seismic survey prior to injection, as a baseline for future 4D monitoring of the CO2 plume. Specifically, the customer needed to assess how big the plume could be for an injection of 20Mt of CO2, and which area needed to be surveyed to capture the potential plume development.
Building a Carbon Storage Atlas
A European National Authority, under pressure to evaluate options for carbon storage wanted to create a Carbon Storage Atlas to outline options and meet Net Zero expectations. Existing assessments and knowledge base are held by national surveys and universities. While these have a strong technical and scientific base, bringing the knowledge together for appropriate access presents significant challenges.
