This document serves as the SECARB Phase III work product 1.4.a “Methodology Paper for Lower and Upper Cretaceous Characterization.” The product summarizes the Project Team’s plans for Phase III assessment of the Upper and Lower Cretaceous Saline Reservoirs CO2 storage capacity. The Project Team will concentrate on potential geologic CO2 storage reservoirs of the Lower and Upper Cretaceous formations in the Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB) along the eastern Gulf Coast region. This work will involve assembly of regional geologic cross sections to better define the stratigraphic framework for this high priority, regionally significant geological formation in the SECARB region. Best available well log data and all available core data will be incorporated into the regional analysis to assess reservoir properties and the geologic framework for storage reservoir characteristics. Regional structure maps and reservoir thickness maps will be compiled. Detailed structure maps will be created to assess the suitability of specific storage sites and to assess the potential impact of significant structural features on storage reservoir and confining unit integrity. Of importance will be incorporating the new information being developed from the Phase II and Phase III CO2 storage field projects that will be assessing this formation for storage of CO2. The primary deliverable will be input into the next update of the “Regional Atlas”.
