Publicly available data was compiled to provide a common information base for resource development, and environmental and regulatory decisions in the Galilee 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 Galilee Basin. The geological storage of CO2 assessment for the Galilee Basin encompasses 5 geological intervals, termed plays – these have been defined by Wainman et al. (2023). The assessment captures data from well completion reports and government data sources (e.g. Queensland Petroleum Exploration Database (QPED) from the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) Open Data Portal) to inform the 4 components required for a potential geological storage of CO2 system. One hundred and sixty-three boreholes in the Galilee Basin were used to map out gross depositional environments and their geological properties relevant for geological storage of CO2. From these datasets, the following properties were 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 guide outlines the play-based workflow for assessing geological storage of CO2 prospectivity. Each of the elements required for a prospective geological storage of carbon dioxide system are explained and mapped. These data were merged and spatially multiplied to show the relative assessment of geological storage of carbon dioxide prospectivity across the basin at both a 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 of the Betts Creek-Rewan Play interval.
