TGS, a global leader in energy data and intelligence, has announced the expansion of its CO2 Storage Assessment initiative for 2025. This expansion will enhance understanding of CO2 sequestration potential across critical regions, reinforcing TGS’ commitment to driving innovation in carbon storage solutions.
Effective carbon sequestration requires in-depth knowledge of basin-scale stratigraphy, reservoir properties, formation penetration and the associated risks related to pressure and seals. In line with this, TGS is expanding its CO2 Storage Assessments to include seven additional basins across the Gulf Coast and West Midwest. These new basins include the Central Gulf Coast–Haynesville, Uinta Basin, Piceance Basin, Greater Green River Basin, Wind River Basin, Powder River Basin and the Greater Williston Basin. This expansion complements the company’s existing models in the Midwest-Northeast regions (Illinois, Michigan, and Appalachia basins) and the Gulf Coast (East Gulf Coast and Gulf Coast regions), further solidifying TGS’ comprehensive data coverage.
Will Ashby, Executive Vice President of New Energy Solutions at TGS, highlighted the importance of these assessments: “Our expanded CO2 Storage Assessments provide detailed mapping of stratigraphic architecture and petrophysical properties, delivering actionable insights into potential storage sites. By leveraging quad combo log data, inferred curves, core samples, bottom hole temperatures, and wireline formation tests, we are equipping the industry with precise evaluations of storage capacities. These assessments also incorporate analyses of seal thicknesses to evaluate containment potential, ensuring a robust understanding of storage feasibility.”
With this expansion, TGS continues to play a pivotal role in enabling energy companies and stakeholders to make informed decisions about CO2 storage opportunities by delivering actionable intelligence and advanced interpretations. This initiative underscores TGS’ commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the pursuit of solutions to address customer needs.
