The independent assessment of the estimated CO₂ storage capacity onshore and nearshore in Denmark is a resource of great value for companies who are interested in Danish CO₂ storage potential:
Detailed, in-depth evaluation of Danish nearshore and onshore CO₂ dynamic storage capacity with thorough analysis and validation of the scientific basis.
Better awareness of confidence and risks in time for the Danish CO₂ license round planned for December 2023.
All the information you need to apply for acreage.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you are interested to learn more.
For the policy makers
The independent assessment offers a ranking of all evaluated sites and their ranges of potential storage capacities with a Low case, a Base case and a High Case.
The study offers a recommendation for how to prioritise specific sites above others that potentially share the same aquifer, in order to maximise CO₂ storage capacity for Denmark while ensuring the lowest cost possible.
The report offers insight into subsurface aspects that have significant impact on future planning of infrastructure. Out of 18 potential sites evaluated, five have reservoirs that are considered to be unsuitable for CO₂ injection.
For the investors
Which site should you prioritise in the upcoming CO₂ storage licence round? Where is the site that has the highest storage capacity and the lowest risk?Perhaps your company has an appetite for higher risk?
This study offers insights enabling strategic decision making.
The CO₂ storage capacity estimates per site provided in the report correspond to the Lead and Prospect level of maturation in the SPE SRMS CO₂ storage classification framework with 1U, 2U and 3U ranges of Undiscovered prospective resources. The current GEUS report No. 46 from 2020 evaluations are at Play level.
Note that the Stenlille site has not been included in the evaluation. The reason is that the operator of the current Gas Storage has access to more data.
For the geologists
The study provides convenient overviews of all data used in the independent assessment, and thorough description of which data one can trust.
CO₂ storage capacity ranges simulated using the ExploCrowd proprietary proxy model in the dynamic domain for each of the 18 sites evaluated. The CO₂ storage efficiencies range from 0.2% and up to 20% for one site with a potentially excellent aquifer.
The report includes recommendation for how each potential CO₂ storage site can be de-risked through an appraisal program.
The report offers insights for both non-geologists and subsurface experts
An evaluation summary for each site is available in Chapter 7 in the Scientific Basis part of the report.
An extensive overview of input parameters are useful for easy overview of the input parameters for both the static and dynamic domain calculations.
Collaborate with us to maximise your organisation’s value creation:
-
Many of our clients use the advantage of having industry leading experts involved in the tailor-made projects we are contracted for. We can provide an independent PlugIn Exploration Team or flexible expert support to existing team in client’s organisation.
-
Clients use our expertise and work power to help their teams meet important deadlines and obligations, delivering quality work.
For instance, we can help overburdened exploration teams working licence rounds, both with tailor-made regional Multi-Client studies to increase speed and specific technical expertise. -
We have access to the Norwegian DISKOS data repository for efficient access to data, without unnecessary involvement of the client.
All products can be made available in ESRI ArcMap, ESRI ArcGIS Pro and Petrel upon request

Integrated Regional Studies
Quality geological framework ready for further exploration.
We have developed comprehensive multi-client integrated regional studies for several areas to provide client teams with shared knowledge, insights, and a higher level of confidence. The databases enable us to develop new concepts and increase the chance of discoveries.

CAPACITY: Few teams in E&P companies have had the chance to prioritise keeping their regional interpretation projects updated during these last few years, due to the downturn.
DATABASE: For Norway, we have taken the luxury to select the best quality seismic data from the DISKOS database, hosted by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, and calibrated the 2D and 3D seismic data to form a consistent database where new proprietary data can be integrated.
The seismic data have been interpreted and the horizons have been tied to wells, often based on biostratigraphic re-evaluation of well data to give confidence.
-
SPEED AND CONFIDENCE: The regional studies give us a head start on any project.
Our clients benefit from our good regional control on seismic data, wells, and confidence.
If a business opportunity arises, such as an asset evaluation, an APA or CO2 licence application, we can assist with carving out selected areas of our existing subsurface database and make it available to clients. This enables clients to accelerate speed, which becomes more and more important for strategic positioning.
NEW CONCEPTS: By building everything up from the ground, evaluating every little detail of the data to ensure quality and consistency, we often discover something new.
We have repeatedly seen that through using new technologies and innovative processes in our way of working, we have come up with new concepts that both solve old geological mysteries, but also have the potential to create significant impact on exploration.

Integration with regional scale seismic attributes from paleoscan models:
In our effort to efficiently integrate seismic attributes in the exploration workflow, standalone PaleoScan Models were completed for the South Viking Graben - Utsira High and Central Graben. The PaleoScan models enables efficient spectral decomposition analysis and seismic attribute extraction from stratigraphically controlled stacked horizons at every peak, trough, zero- and S-crossing.
In the regional scale PaleoScan Model South Viking Graben - Utsira High a large number of horizons and observed geomorphologies are tied to well observations and sedimentology organised in our IC Well Database. This has provided an overview of the reservoir distribution in Paleogene and Neogene on a regional scale, associated with very good confidence.
Regional TWT and TVD Maps:
Regional Time maps for the entire North Sea Region and Barents Sea are available for purchase in a 500 by 500 meter grid size. The maps have been mapped on a calibrated seismic data base, and are available in TWT and TVD with the assistance of Estimages Norge. The maps are available for purchase.
Petroleum System Analysis for North Sea and Barents Sea Regions:
Oil and Gas Expulsion Maps from the TORENA Regional Petroleum System Analysis by Torbjørn Throndsen are available for the entire Norwegian Barents Sea (excl. FDZ) and the entire Norwegian North Sea.
Regional Fault Maps and Salt Structure Maps:
Structural geology is our core competence and this has high priority in our studies, for us to understand the impact of the structural controls on sediment deposition, trap formation and hydrocarbon migration.Regional fault maps and salt structure maps for the North Sea, Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea are available for purchase.
Geopressure Analysis and Overpressure Compartment Maps:
Understanding overpressure distribution can be of utmost importance in several regions, for understanding potential false positive AVO responses, preservation of porosity and especially when planning wells. Industry leading experts Stephen O’Connor and Guy Markham have reviewed geopressure data and interpreted overpressures. Those have in several areas been integrated with the ExploCrowd Fault maps - providing valuable new insights. -
