The National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB) Oil and Gas spatial database is a small-scale (large-area) overview of carbon dioxide (CO2) geologic storage potential in oil and/or gas fields across the USA and parts of Canada. Storage estimates are quantified by the volume of oil and gas that has, or could be, produced, assuming that it could be replaced by an equivalent volume of carbon dioxide. Only oil and/or gas reservoirs containing water with total dissolved solids (TDS) greater than 10,000 ppm merited evaluation for potential CO2 storage. Storage resources labelled as "OIL" may represent oil-only fields, or combined oil and gas fields. Storage resources labelled as "GAS" represent gas-only fields.This data layer reflects the best available knowledge regarding the location of carbon sequestration potential in the USA and Canada, both onshore and offshore.
Version Log:
v1101 - Initial release for Atlas III;
v1102 - no changes. Version not released;
v1103 - Metadata revised. No change to data.;
v1104 - no changes to Oil and Gas layer;
v1204 - Initial release for Atlas IV. New data submitted by all regional partnerships.
NATCARB is administered by the US Dept. of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and contains data provided by several Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP). RCSPs orginally developed the data per individual geologic storage resource, or as continuous surface models, and then converted these data into a 10 km X 10 km vector "grid". The NATCARB Team at the Kansas Geological Survey compiled the regional datasets into a single, seamless layer.
This dataset provides a single, seamless spatial database of carbon storage potentials for oil and gas reservoirs across the USA and Canada compiled from regional datasets created by RCSPs and the KGS. Storage resource estimates are based on physically accessible CO2 storage pore volume within subsurface geologic formations, and on the assumption that the storage resources are open systems in which in situ fluids will either be displaced from the injection zone or managed accordingly. Economic and regulatory constraints are not considered. These data are intended to be used as an initial assessment of potential geologic storage and are not a substitute for site-specific assessment, testing, and geologic investigation. This spatial data layer provides carbon capture and storage (CCS) project developers a starting point for further inquiry into CCS technologies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and is intended for use by RCSPs, project developers, and governmental entities for regional- and national-scale assessments of potential CO2 storage resources in the United States and parts of Canada.
For a detailed methodology of storage resource estimates refer to Appendix B of The United States 2012 Carbon Utilization and Storage Atlas - Fourth Edition (Atlas IV).

Version 1204 (fourth quarter release of 2012) of the NATCARB Saline spatial database was created by the NATCARB Team at the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS). The following Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) contributed data to the national dataset:
Big Sky Carbon Sequestration Partnership (BSCSP);
Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium (MGSC);
Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP);
Plains CO2 Reduction Partnership (PCOR);
Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB);
Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP);
West Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (WESTCARB).
Several site characterization project teams also contributed data through the RCSPs to be included in the national dataset:
Black Warrior Basin - University of Alabama;
Cambro-Ordovician Strata of the Illinois and Michigan Basins - University of Illinois;
Gulf of Mexico Miocene - University of Texas;
Triassic Newark Basin of New York and New Jersey - Sandia Technologies;
Ozark Plateau Study Area - University of Kansas;
Rocky Mountain Region - University of Utah;
South Georgia Rift Basin - South Carolina Research Institution;
Two Elk Energy Park - North American Power Group;
Wilmington Graben, Offshore Los Angeles - Terralog Technologies USA;
Wyoming - University of Wyoming.
Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; Esri ArcGIS 10.1.1.3143
Questions regarding accuracy of the data (spatial and attribute) should be directed to the individual RCSPs. Except for certain cases of inter-partnership overlap, NATCARB did not make any changes to the data except for corrections to values in text fields (spelling, capitalization, etc.) when errors were noticed.
All RCSPs provided carbon storage data in accordance with common standards developed by the RCSPs and the NATCARB project teams. (See Sources for more information on methodologies). Discrepancies and overlaps occur at the boundaries of some adjacent partnerships and DOE-NETL is the final authority on the handling of these issues (see data fields OVERLAP and DUPLICATE in Entity Attributes section of this document for details).
This dataset reflects the best available knowledge regarding the location of potential carbon sequestration potential in the USA and Canada, both onshore and offshore. However, not all areas of the United States and Canada have been assessed (e.g., offshore New England). Not all RCSPs provided data for all attribute fields in the database (indicated by <Null>). Values of "0" represent actual measurements. Not all RCSPs provided low (VOL_LOW), medium (VOL_MED) and high (VOL_HIGH) estimates of carbon storage capacity. In cases where only medium estimates (VOL_MED) were provided, the medium capacities were copied into the VOL_LOW and VOL_HIGH attribute fields. If the RCSP provided low and high estimates of capacity but not medium, the VOL_MED field was set to <Null>.

West Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership provided data for the Western United States and Canada (Alaska, Western Arizona, Western British Columbia, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Western Oregon and Western Washington).
The NATCARB Group at the Kansas Geological Survey assembled GIS datasets from the regional partnerships (and other sources where necessary) into a single layer using ESRI's ArcInfo (v10.0) software in the Summer and Fall of 2012. All partnerships provided data as simple polygon outlines of resource boundaries. Not all partnerships provided low, medium and high capacity estimates. Where only medium capacities were provided, KGS made the low and high capacity fields (VOL_LOW and VOL_HIGH, respectively) equal to the medium capacity (VOL_MED). Where only low and high estimates were provided, medium values were set to <Null>. Other alterations to the data include identifying overlapping and duplicate data submitted by adjacent partnerships and making corrections to values in text fields (spelling, capitalization, etc.) when errors were noticed.
