Publicly available data was compiled to provide a common information base for resource development, and environmental and regulatory decisions in the Cooper Basin. This data guide gives examples of how these data can be used to create the components of a workflow to identify geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) opportunities. The data guide is designed to support the data package that provide insights on the geological storage of CO2 in the Cooper Basin. The geological storage of CO2 assessment for the Cooper Basin encompasses 4 of the 6 geological intervals, termed plays – these intervals have been defined by Wainman et al. (2023). The assessment captures data from the Great Artesian Basin geological and hydrogeological surfaces update (Vizy and Rollet, 2022), Cooper Region Shale, tight and deep coal gas prospectivity of the Cooper Basin (Lech et al., 2020) (GBA), Cooper Basin architecture and lithofacies: Regional hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Cooper Basin (Hall et al., 2015) (CBAL), National Geoscience Mapping Accord Cooper and Eromanga Basins, Australia, seismic mapping data sets (NGMA, 2002), Queensland Petroleum Exploration Database (QPED) from the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) Open Data Portal (2020a), and the Petroleum Exploration and Production System of South Australia (PEPS, 2021) along with the scientific literature to inform the 4 components required for a potential geological storage of CO2 system. These datasets are used to map out geological properties relevant for geological storage of CO2 assessments. From these datasets, the following properties have been evaluated and mapped across the basin: injectivity, storage efficiency, containment and structural complexity. The data are compiled at a point in time to inform decisions on resource development opportunities. The data guide outlines the play-based workflow for assessing geological storage of CO2 prospectivity. Each of the elements required for a working geological storage of CO2 system is explained and mapped. These data were then merged and spatially multiplied to show the relative assessment of geological storage of CO2 prospectivity across the basin, at both play interval and basin scale. As an example of assessments contained within the data package, this data guide showcases the geological storage of CO2 prospectivity the Toolachee Play interval.
