Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB) Saline spatial database is a small-scale (large-area) overview of carbon dioxide (CO2) geologic storage potential in saline formations across the USA and parts of Canada. Saline formations are composed of brine-saturated porous rock and capped by one or more regionally extensive, low-permeability rock formations.Only saline formations containing formation fluid with total dissolved solids (TDS) greater than 10,000 ppm merited evaluation for potential CO2 storage. A saline storage resource can include one named geologic stratigraphic unit or be defined as only a part of a stratigraphic unit.This data layer reflects the best available knowledge regarding the location of carbon sequestration potential in the USA and Canada, both onshore and offshore. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Version Log: </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>v1101 - Initial release for Atlas III; </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>v1103 - Metadata revised; </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>v1104 - No changes to Saline layer; </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>v1204 - Initial release for Atlas IV.

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.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Version 1502 (second quarter release of 2015) 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.
