The Southeast Offshore Storage Resource Assessment (SOSRA) research project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is focused on assessing the Atlantic offshore resources for CO2 storage. Although the storage capacity of offshore reservoirs is expected to be substantial, and despite having a number of significant advantages over onshore sites, no comprehensive assessment of the offshore storage capacity in the southeastern U.S. has been performed, previously (Franklin, 2009). Based on a study by Smyth et al. (2008) two potential CO2 reservoirs were identified in geologic strata below the Atlantic continental shelf in the Upper and Lower Cretaceous layers.
