Randomized trial demonstrates improved CO2 storage strategies using enhanced seismic imaging in the Barrow Sub-Basin.

This research aims to improve carbon storage site selection and CO2 plume modeling through enhanced seismic imaging techniques.
Applied elastic full-waveform inversion (EFWI) and FWI Impedance Imaging to legacy datasets in the Barrow Sub-Basin.
Conducted basin-scale characterisation of saline aquifer formations.
Addressed imaging challenges posed by shallow water depths and near-surface carbonate bodies.
Enhanced datasets significantly improved image resolution within the Barrow Group.
Detailed mapping of internal stratigraphic architecture was achieved.
Insights gained are critical for refining CO2 storage strategies in the region.
