Resumen:
The importance of CO2 storage in deep geological formations to mitigate
CO2 emissions, has triggered the investigation of possible sites
worldwide. This study presents a hierarchical basin-wide evaluation of
the Tampico-Misantla basin (TMB), Mexico, following a basin evaluation
methodology based on literature criteria and local particularities. The
results show that the TMB has significant potential to adequately store
CO2. The stratigraphy evaluation reveals two candidate aquifers: (1) the
Cretaceous Tamaulipas and (2) the Jurassic Cahuasas formations.
Twenty-three criteria are taken into account to evaluate the storage
potential of the area. A numerical scoring and weighting scheme
integrate all the criteria in a raster, thus allowing the storage
potential to be depicted using a normalized scale. The prospective areas
are restricted by the 0.8 isoline normalized value (over 1). Considering
the aquifer's volume with potential above 0.8, the effective storage
capacity of the basin is estimated to be 972.3 to 1346.0 million tonnes
of CO2.
