Overcoming Data Scarcity in Carbon Storage Assessment: Estimating Petrophysical Properties in Legacy Wells Integrating Sample Logs and Geostatistical Approaches

Geological CO2 sequestration feasibility studies in mature basins frequently face challenges associated with legacy well data, which often lack the comprehensive logging suites required for accurate reservoir characterization. This study evaluates the storage potential of Ordovician– Devonian formations in a filed in the Delaware Basin portion of the Permian Basin, using a dataset of 47 wells..
