CALGARY, AB, CANADA – March 8, 2022 – On March 3, 2022, the Government of Alberta put out its Request for Full Project Proposals for Carbon Sequestration Hubs. Timelines are tight with Full Project Proposals due by May 2, 2022. Canadian Discovery Ltd. (CDL) can provide area-specific subsurface expertise in support of companies’ deep saline aquifer CO2 sequestration Full Project Proposals.
CDL has developed a fully integrated subsurface workflow to help clients characterize the suitability of deep saline aquifers for carbon storage in Alberta. While the Basal Cambrian Sandstone (BCS) has received most of the carbon storage attention—both the Shell Quest (northeast of Edmonton) and the Aquistore (near the SK/USA border) projects sequester CO2 in this aquifer system—the BCS might not be the optimal target in many areas throughout Alberta. CDL’s work to date has shown that there are other Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian Elk Point aquifers that could better serve as CO2 storage candidates in some locations, while in some areas a project may require multiple targets to meet storage needs.
CDL’s workflow includes an examination of the reservoir and cap rock of the project’s target aquifer(s), and identifies any potential subsurface conflicts as required in the RFPP. The detailed assessment includes datasets, maps, graphs and type logs describing the geological framework, reservoir conditions, and CO2 storage capacity and efficiency estimates.
