Biography

Pablo is a postdoctoral researcher in the iCRAG Energy Security challenge. Pablo completed a PhD in 2019 on the structural evolution of the Celtic Sea Basins (offshore Ireland) with iCRAG/Fault Analysis Group in UCD. His research project focuses on the study of potential sites for geological storage of CO2 in the Celtic Sea Basins. The Basins, with a long-standing exploration history that has led to several commercial gas discoveries and a large subsurface dataset, constitute an excellent location for potential CO2 storage and the associated reduction of Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions

Project title: Unlocking the potential for geological storage of CO2 in the Celtic Sea basins.

Technical Description

This research project involves investigation of prospective reservoirs and storage sites in offshore south of Ireland (i.e. North Celtic Sea Basin and immediately adjacent basins) by developing upon iCRAG’s analysis and interpretation of Ireland’s offshore basins, incorporating all of the existing public domain subsurface geological and geophysical datasets (e.g. seismic and well data). Different types of potential geological stores will be investigated with preliminary assessments of storage volumes and associated risks (e.g. structural, aquifer properties (primary and diagenetic), seal integrity, flow conditions etc.), drawing from state-of-the-art understanding and modelling of subsurface CO2.
