In petroleum geochemistry, a source rock is classified as an interval of rock that contains sufficient organic matter of the right type that has the potential to generate, or has already generated, commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.
Storage of CO2 in geological formations depends on a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms such as physical trapping below caprocks or trapping by dissolution in groundwater. The most effective storage mechanism is the permanent mineralisation of CO2 by conversion into carbonate minerals (Benson et al. , 2005).
A major aim of reactive flow models in CCS activities is to understand and predict the evolution of the CO2 plume injected in the reservoir for planning and monitoring purposes (e. g. Jenkins et al. , 2015).
4 - 7 of May 2025 - to present the latest results on our Petroleum Systems Modelling (PSM) study for the MSGBC Basin. Â
A joint effort between TGSÂ and IGIÂ integrates the results from an extensive multibeam and seafloor sampling campaign with a regional seismic data set.
The geological storage of CO2 is a promising means to help reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during the energy transition stages (e. g. , Raza et al. , 2022).
