Abstract:
CO2 storage in the subsurface is a key aspect of climate mitigation. The UQ is investigating whether the Precipice Sandstone and Evergreen Formation in the Surat Basin, Queensland, are an appropriate reservoir-seal pair for the long-term storage of greenhouse gases. However, the Precipice-Evergreen succession remains poorly constrained from a paleo-depositional and stratigraphic standpoint. Studies have mostly applied lithostratigraphy for local correlation, and the understanding of time-stratigraphic relationships across the basin needs development. This has greatly hindered the capacity to construct robust reservoir models and is an active area of research.
