This study begins with an evaluation of key geologic variables for well documented geologic formations to identify which characteristics best correlate with a successful use of the reservoir (production, EOR, storage). Then, a new ranking system was designed around these variables to capture the heterogeneity. Finally, the methodology was applied to different case studies to test the applicability of the system. The results identified top sites in both the Appalachian and Michigan Basins.Keywords: CCS, site selection, rankingPermalink: https://doi.org/10.1190/image2022-3749096.1FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Second International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & EnergyISSN (print):1052-3812 ISSN (online):1949-4645Copyright: 2022 Pages: 3694 publication data© 2022 Published in electronic format with permission by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists and the American Association of Petroleum GeologistsPublisher:Society of Exploration Geophysicists HistoryPublished Online: 15 Aug 2022 CITATION INFORMATION Autumn Haagsma, Neeraj Gupta, and Brian Currie, (2022), "A geologic complexity ranking system for CO2 storage site selection," SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts : 488-490. https://doi.org/10.1190/image2022-3749096.1 Plain-Language Summary KeywordsCCSsite selectionrankingPDF DownloadLoading ...
