“…The A-category refers to aquifers in the structural traps, including depleted oil and gas reservoirs. The B-category is relative to aquifers in stratigraphic and residual trap, both in offshore sedimentary basins, where the sea floor is less than 200 m deep, and in onshore gas fields [44]. The results show a CO 2 storage capacity of 30 Gt and 116 Gt, for category A and B, respectively, sum total 146 Gt, about 54.5 Gt more than previous storage estimations [45].…”

The estimation of CO 2 storage capacity in deep geologic formations is a pre-requisite for an efficient and safe application of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The evaluation of storage resources for CO 2 geological sequestration is a challenging task and has been tackled using several static algorithms and dynamic methods, on a variety of scales ranging from country to site-specific. The purpose of this study is to present an up-to-date as well as an overall review of the storage capacity algorithms for oil and gas reservoirs, coal seams, and deep saline aquifers, including some worldwide estimation examples. Moreover, a practical application at local scale was also performed for an Italian deep reservoir located in the Po Plain (Northern Italy). The effective storage capacities were obtained applying the commonly established static methods, using both the theoretical and the geocellular volume of the reservoir. Although a conservative approach, this study demonstrates that the selected structure has favorable characteristics for CO 2 geological storage and has the capacity to host the most part of the Po Plain CO 2 emissions for several decades.

“…The Kanto region is one of Japan's largest industrial areas and has a large saline aquifer with a monoclinal structure and a storage potential of 27.5 Gt-CO 2 [35]. The CO 2 would be present in the liquid state after injection because the geological temperature gradient around the Kanto region is mild compared with elsewhere in Japan [36].…”

“…7 Several simulation studies have assessed the availability of gravimetric techniques for monitoring CO 2 storage. 3,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In Japan, where offshore geological storage within a moderate distance from the coastline is recognized as having the greatest potential, 16,17 it is not always easy to use the gravimetric techniques described above. Ocean bottom measurements require permanently deployed benchmarks at the ocean bottom to minimize measurement uncertainty.…”

Continuous gravity observation with a superconducting gravimeter at the Tomakomai CCS demonstration site, Japan: applicability to ground‐based monitoring of offshore CO₂ geological storage

Gravimetric techniques are used for monitoring the distribution and migration of CO2 stored in geological formations. Superconducting gravimeters (SGs), because of their high sensitivity, can enable continuous ground‐based monitoring of offshore CO2 storage. For offshore monitoring purposes, gravity stations should be located near the seashore to maximize the signal of interest. We observed gravity continuously with an SG near the seashore at the Tomakomai carbon dioxide capture and storage demonstration site in Japan to assess variation of the observed gravity and to evaluate the applicability of this technique for monitoring of large‐scale offshore storage. Strong noise caused by strong winds and ocean waves was removed by low‐pass filtering. The noise did not fundamentally affect long‐term gravity changes. The observed gravity was affected strongly by shallow groundwater level changes but the effects were sufficiently corrected by expressing their effects as a summation of linear functions of groundwater level changes. Considering all possible effects on gravity, the standard deviation of the gravity residuals during 85 days of observation was minimized to 7.5–8.2 nm s–2. Based on the model setting of the Tomakomai site, the estimated annual gravity changes caused by industrial‐scale injection (1 MtCO2 year–1) into a hypothetical offshore formation (1 km depth) were –2.8 to –3.3 nm s–2 under different saturation conditions. The estimated changes exceed the observed standard deviation in 2.3–2.9 years. These results suggest that injection‐induced gravity changes can be detected using SG within a few years. Therefore, the present ground‐based gravimetric technique can contribute to long‐term monitoring of offshore storage. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
