Mesoscale Assessment of CO₂ Storage Potential and Geological Suitability for Target Area Selection in the Sichuan Basin

Figure 8

Assessment results of CO₂ geological storage suitability (suitable area is the “target area”). Most prospective areas in the Sichuan Basin are suitable for CO₂ geological storage, which could be the “target areas” for CO₂ geological storage. The main reservoirs in the Central Sichuan Basin are sections two, four, and six of Xujiahe formation with large thickness and good physical properties. They are far from the basin boundary faults, with weak hydrodynamic and good geological safety conditions.
