Abstract

Hydrocarbon reservoirs saturated with CO2 are naturally widespread in the Lower Talang Akar Formation (LTAF) and deposited in the Jabung Block, South Sumatra Basin, Indonesia. The different CO2 saturation contents stored in the reservoirs pose a challenge to planning future carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in the area. This study integrates poststack 3D seismic data and existing wells in the western part of the Jabung Block. It utilizes seismic attribute methods such as sum of negative amplitude, relative impedance, variance, and ant tracking to predict the origin, saturation, and distribution of CO2-saturated hydrocarbon accumulations in the sandstone reservoirs of the LTAF. The results show that CO2 originated from the Betara Deep source rock in the study area's eastern side and migrated to the reservoirs through major northwest–southeast-trending fault zones. The saturation of CO2 in the reservoirs is mainly controlled by the distance from the source and the reservoir depths, faulting, and fracturing intensity. The fields closer to the Betara source rock tend to be filled with higher contents of CO2 saturation. The results provide valuable guidance in CO2 identification and mapping for future CCS and CCUS implementation in the study area.
