Geological CO2 Sequestration Atlas for Miocene Strata Offshore Texas State Waters


Book Description

The purpose of this atlas is to provide a summary ofresearch under taken as par t of a multi-year study (2009¿2014)of Texas state waters and the adjacent federal offshorecontinental shelf (i.e., near offshore waters of the state ofTexas). The goal of the study was to assess and analyze theexisting data from historical hydrocarbon industr y activitiesin a regional transect of the Texas coast in order to verifythe ability of the Miocene age rocks of the region to safelyand permanently store large amounts of anthropogenic(industrial) CO2.The authors¿ intent in producing this atlas is to providea resource for exploring the geological CO2 sequestrationpotential of the near offshore waters of the state of Texas(f ig. 1) by populating the atlas with both large-scale regionalqualitative and detailed quantitative information that canhelp operators to quickly assess CO2 sequestration potentialat specif ic sites. This is the f irst comprehensive attempt todo this for the near offshore in the Gulf Coast and UnitedStates.
