WP4: Assessing capacity for CO2 storage in selected regions of China Jonathan Pearce 23rd October 2008 Outline Introduction to WP4 Objectives Regional studies Site assessments Outputs WP4 Partners UK British Geological Survey (BGS) BP Heriot Watt University Shell China China University of Petroleum (CUP) – Beijing and Huadong Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) China United Coalbed Methane Co Ltd (CUCBM) Jilin Oilfield PetroChina WP4: Storage Options Objectives: Build capacity in China for evaluating storage potential and performing appropriate first stage site characterisation for site selection. Estimate the future potential for CO2 storage. Mapping of CO2 sources and potential sinks will be carried out. Tasks: Regional basin assessments of storage potential for EOR, ECBM and saline formations Site-selection and assessments for demonstration of storage. GIS-based decision support tool will be developed. Storage Options Saline formations Songliao Basin As part of enhanced oil recovery operations Songliao Basin (Jilin and Daqing oilfields) Subei Basin (onshore only, Jiangsu oilfield) As part of enhanced coalbed methane production Qinshui Basin WP4 Progress WP4 launch meeting in January 2008 Agreed timetable for project Agreed basins for assessment Basin methodologies workshop in May 2008 Agreed methodologies for regional basin assessments Reviewed initial results for all regions Basin Assessment Conference in July 2008 Joint meeting with COACH and GeoCapacity Reviews of preliminary results for all current projects estimating storage capacities in China. Interim report completed August 2008 Resource-Reserve pyramid Carbon sequestration leadership forum (CSLF) 2007 Theoretical Capacity – Assumes entire space is accessible and utilised to its full capacity. This is the maximum upper limit for storage potential. Effective Capacity – (previously known as realistic capacity) Similar to theoretical capacity,
