Regional reservoir and seal characterization for Carbon Capture and Storage in Denmark using forward stratigraphic modelling

Research output: Contribution to journalConference article in journalpeer-review

Abstract

This study is a first example of application of forward stratigraphic modelling in order to characterize a reservoir and a seal for CO2 storage purposes. The Gassum and the Fjerritslev formations onshore Denmark are an excellent candidate for reservoir and seal respectively for CCS. However, their distribution, quality, and thickness are not very well characterized due to the lack of 3D seismic, low quality 2D seismic, and a small number of wells. Therefor we applied forward stratigraphic modelling in order to generate reservoir and seal net thickness and net to gross maps that help identify potential areas for further data acquiring and eventually CO2 storage.
