Carbon capture involves the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to mitigate climate change in many countries, including offshore settings in the UK. While core samples are not directly used for carbon capture, they can be useful in related fields such as geology and reservoir engineering. Core samples are cylindrical samples of rock retrieved from drilling operations that provide valuable information about the subsurface formations.
In the context of carbon capture, core samples can be examined to understand the geological formations where carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects are planned. At OASIS Group we understand the importance of core samples and geological storage, and we preserve and maximise the data value of all our customers records. The analysis of core samples can help determine the characteristics of the reservoir rocks, such as their porosity, permeability, and capacity for storing CO2. These properties are important for evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of potential carbon storage sites.
By studying core samples, geologists and reservoir engineers can assess the suitability of different geological formations for carbon storage. They can identify potential trapping mechanisms, such as porous rock formations or deep saline aquifers, which can securely contain the captured CO2 underground. The analysis of core samples also aids in understanding the migration behaviour of CO2 within the subsurface, predicting any potential risks or leakage pathways.
Additionally, core samples can provide insights into the history of the geological formations, including their depositional environment and age. This information is crucial for understanding the long-term stability and integrity of potential carbon storage sites.
While core samples themselves do not directly capture or store carbon dioxide, their analysis plays a vital role in site selection, risk assessment, and the overall feasibility of carbon capture and storage projects.
