Abstract
Publicly available data was compiled to provide a common information base for resource development, and environmental and regulatory decisions in the north Bowen Basin. This data guide gives examples of how these data can be used to create the components of a workflow to identify geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) opportunities. The data guide is designed to support the data package that provide insights on the geological storage of CO2 in the north Bowen Basin. The geological storage of CO2 assessment for the north Bowen Basin encompasses 3 of the 5 geological intervals, termed plays – these have been defined by Wainman et al. (2023). The assessment captures data from the Queensland Petroleum Exploration Database (QPED) from the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) Open Data Portal (Queensland Government, 2022a); the Queensland Carbon Dioxide Geological Storage Atlas (Bradshaw et al., 2009), ZeroGen IGCC with CCS: A Case History (Garnett et al., 2014), OzSEEBASE (2021) and the Bowen and Surat Basins Regional Structural Framework Study (SRK Consulting, 2008) along with the scientific literature to inform the four components required for a potential geological storage of carbon dioxide system. These datasets were used to map out gross depositional environments and their geological properties relevant for geological storage of carbon dioxide. From these datasets, the following properties have been evaluated and mapped across the basin: injectivity, storage efficiency, containment and structural complexity. The data are compiled at a point in time to inform decisions on resource development opportunities. The data guide outlines the play-based workflow for assessing geological storage of CO2 prospectivity. Each of the elements required for a prospective geological storage of CO2 system are explained and mapped. These data were merged and spatially multiplied to show the relative assessment of geological storage of CO2 prospectivity across the basin, at both the play interval and basin scale. As an example of assessments contained within the data package, this data guide showcases the geological storage of CO2 prospectivity of the Rewan–Blackwater Play interval.

Lineage
This package has been developed as part of the the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information program (TEGI), and is providing better and more streamlined access to information and data for geological basins prospective for energy, carbon capture and storage, groundwater and minerals. The program has identified and collated trusted baseline data and information for four prospective basin regions and supplement it with new geological and environmental assessments. This information will provide Australian governments, industry and communities with the highest-quality trusted science available to make faster, clearer decisions and provide better outcomes for the environment and water resources.
