Carbon sequestration is a mechanism by which carbon is captured and taken out of the ‘active’ Earth system. It can then be either used for other processes (heating, agriculture, etc., where it may subsequently re-enter the system) or stored within existing reservoir rocks. 
 
For storage, the challenges are almost hydrocarbon exploration in reverse. We still need to understand the nature of potential reservoir rocks (porosity and permeability), seal rock integrity, the structuralization of the area, and the long-term stability of the storage system. What we do not need to know is the source rock story.
 
We are developing a new series of reports for companies investigating carbon storage that builds on our OSIRIS suite of databases and atlases.
 
We can also provide consultancy and workshops.
