Quinn, M, Hannis, S, Williams, J, Kirby, G, and McCormac, M. 2018. Multiscale Whole Systems Modelling and Analysis Project — A description of the selection, building and characterisation of a set of 3D generic CO2 storage models. British Geological Survey Open Report, OR/18/013.

This report forms one of the outputs from the UK Research Councils' Energy Programme funded project 'Multiscale Whole Systems Modelling and Analysis for CO₂ capture, transport and storage', Grant Reference: NE/H013946/1. The support of NERC and a Science Advisory Board (comprising Scottish Power, the Environment Agency, Shell, National Grid, EPSRC, ETI, WWF, PSE and IEA GHG R&D Programme) are all gratefully acknowledged. Thanks also go to Andrew Green of the ETI for his help in enabling the receipt of interpreted regional surfaces from Petroleum GeoServices (PGS).

We would like to thank Petroleum GeoServices (PGS) for supplying interpretations of regional surfaces in the Southern and Central North Sea which were integrated with our local 3D models.

Common Data Access (CDA) Limited is acknowledged for allowing access to released well data from the SNS and CNS areas for the purpose of this project. Commercial well and hydrocarbon field locations are based on information now provided by OGA (the Oil and Gas Authority), which is available online at https://data-ogauthority.opendata.arcgis.com/

We would like to thank Schlumberger for use of the PETREL software and Lloyd's Register (formerly Senergy) for the use of the IP software (formerly Interactive Petrophysics).

In compiling this report, the authors readily acknowledge the assistance of several BGS colleagues, including Sandy Henderson for technical support and drafting assistance, Diego Diaz Doce for guidance and assistance with the GIS and Carol-Anne Frame for formatting the report. Calum Ritchie is acknowledged for building the 3D visualisations of the Bunter and Cenozoic models.

Dr Martin Smith is acknowledged and thanked for his review of this report and his guidance and advice throughout this project.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge the working relationship with our project partners at Imperial College, led by Professor Sevket Durucan and Dr Anna Korre, which provided the opportunity for many thought provoking discussions and ideas.
