Abstract: Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is an effective technology to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in China. In this paper, the authors considered storage opportunities offered by oil reservoirs and deep saline aquifers in the Jiyang Depression, in east China. Based on detailed geological analysis and assessment of CO2 storage suitability, the Dongying Sag and Linyi‐Shanghe areas of the Huimin Sag within the Jiyang Depression appear promising for CO2 storage. Following more detailed characterization, the second and third members of the Shahejie Formation located in these two areas appear the most promising for CO2 storage. Within the areas identified as having potential for storage, 55 primary and 62 secondary recommended storage units were defined, with a total theoretical capacity of 5.02 × 108 tonnes (t) CO2. This represents storage of CO2 emissions from large‐scale sources in the Jiyang Depression for more than 30 years at current emission rates. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
