Description: Geological Chance is a term developed by Bradshaw et al (2002) [https://doi.org/10.1071/AJ0100] that describes the suitability of a site for geological storage of CO2 in Australia, by removing site detail factors (economics and engineering viability) from their Environmentally Sustainable Sites for Carbon Dioxide Injection rating system (an ESSCI is a reservoir or play within a reservoir). This ensures smaller potential geological storage sites are not discounted. Data compiled as part of the Australian Petroleum Cooperative Research Centre's GEODISC program (1999-2002).

Description: Permeability refers to how connected pore spaces are to each another. If the material has high permeability, then pore spaces are well connected allowing fluids to flow from one pore space to another. If there is low permeability, then the pore spaces are isolated and fluids are trapped within them. The unit of measure is called a Darcy.

Description: Porosity is refers to the amount of empty space within a material. For rocks and sediments, this space can be filled with gas, water or other fluids. The unit of measure is the fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%.

Description: The depth layer displays the depth of the ESSCI site. Data compiled as part of the Australian Petroleum Cooperative Research Centre's GEODISC program (1999-2002).

Description: The temperature layer displays the average temperature of the ESSCI site in degrees Celsius.

Description: The type layer describes the primary of type of geological structure that that will trap and store CO2.
