Shallow Gas Offshore Netherlands - The Role of Faulting and Implications for CO2 Storage - poster at 4th International Conference on Fault and Top Seals

The data consists of a poster presented at 'The Fourth International Conference on Fault and Top Seals', Almeria, Spain, 20-24th September 2015. The abstract describes work carried-out on behalf of the 'Fault seal controls on CO2 storage capacity in aquifers' project funded by the UKCCS Research Centre, grant number UKCCSRC-C1-14. Shallow gas accumulations in the Netherlands sector of the Southern North Sea provide an opportunity to study their coincidence with faulting. Although difficult to attribute the occurrence of shallow gas to leakage of thermogenic fluids from depth (indeed shallow-sourced biogenic gas is common in the North Sea), evidence suggests a relationship, and the common attributes of the faults provide indications of the conditions under which faults in the region may leak, providing a useful indications of factors that should be avoided during CO2 storage operations.本数据集包含2015年9月20日至24日在西班牙阿尔梅里亚举办的第四届断层与顶部盖层国际会议（The Fourth International Conference on Fault and Top Seals）上展示的海报。该摘要介绍了受英国碳捕集与封存研究中心（UKCCS Research Centre）资助、项目编号为UKCCSRC-C1-14的“含水层中CO₂封存容量的断层封闭控制因素”（Fault seal controls on CO₂ storage capacity in aquifers）课题所开展的研究工作。南北海荷兰管辖海域的浅层气藏，为研究其与断层发育的重合关系提供了绝佳契机。尽管将浅层气的产出归因于深部热成因流体的渗漏颇具难度，事实上浅源生物成因气在北海海域十分常见，但现有证据表明二者存在关联；该区域断层的共性特征，可为判断本区域断层可能发生渗漏的条件提供参考，进而为CO₂封存作业中应规避的各类因素提供有益指引。
