Abstract

A study of the potential for geological storage of CO2 in the APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) group of countries was commissioned under the APEC Energy Working Group Project (EWG Project 06/2003). This report discusses the prospectivity for CO2 storage within the "economies" of China, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines. The estimated CO2 emissions (SOURCES) adjacent to the major sedimentary basins (SINKS) of this region are reported from an IEA dataset. The geology of the basins (SINKS) in this area are summarised from literature sources and their prospectivity for CO2 storage is discussed in terms of stratigraphy and "play" concepts. Geological storage is considered in terms of Deep "saline" reservoir storage, Depleted hydrocarbon field storage including EOR (Enhanced Oil recovery). Storage in coal seams including ECBM (Enhanced Coal Seam Methane) was considered by the authors to be scientifically and technically very immature. However the location of coal deposits is summarised in the report. No attempt is made to estimate storage capacity with the exception of an estimate of the hydrocarbon pore space known in each basin. Data was not available on depletion schedules of these fields but it was assumed much of this space would not be available in the required time frame. The report contains an appendix with maps, sections, facies maps and references from the literature for each basin studied.
