TGS, a global leader in energy data and intelligence, has announced the expansion of its CO₂ Storage Assessment initiative for 2025. This initiative aims to enhance the understanding of CO₂ sequestration potential across key regions, reinforcing the company’s commitment to driving innovation in carbon storage solutions.
Effective carbon sequestration requires a comprehensive understanding of basin-scale stratigraphy, reservoir properties, formation penetration, and the associated risks related to pressure and seals. In alignment with this, TGS is broadening its CO₂ Storage Assessments to include seven additional basins across the Gulf Coast and West Midwest. These newly assessed basins include the Central Gulf Coast–Haynesville, Uinta Basin, Piceance Basin, Greater Green River Basin, Wind River Basin, Powder River Basin, and the Greater Williston Basin. This expansion builds upon the company’s existing models in the Midwest-Northeast regions—covering the Illinois, Michigan, and Appalachia basins—as well as the Gulf Coast regions, further strengthening TGS’ extensive data coverage.
Will Ashby, executive vice president of New Energy Solutions at TGS, emphasized the significance of these assessments, stating that the expanded initiative provides detailed mapping of stratigraphic architecture and petrophysical properties to deliver actionable insights into potential storage sites. By utilizing quad combo log data, inferred curves, core samples, bottom hole temperatures, and wireline formation tests, TGS equips the industry with precise evaluations of storage capacities. Additionally, the assessments include analyses of seal thicknesses to assess containment potential, ensuring a robust understanding of storage feasibility.
With this expansion, TGS continues to play a crucial role in enabling energy companies and stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding CO₂ storage opportunities. By delivering advanced interpretations and actionable intelligence, the company underscores its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the development of effective solutions to address industry needs.
