Projected growth of the number of CO2 injection wells and the cumulative CO2 injected, based on historical hydrocarbon well development for three different geologic regions. Historic datasets have been replotted beginning in 2020 to provide a perspective on potential future regional CCS well deployment. The lower slope of the data in late years is a result of hydrocarbon production maturation (resource depletion, creaming concepts), which might also occur with CO2 storage when resource limits are eventually reached (volume or pressure). Thin dashed lines represent high (P10) and low (P90) bounds (See Appendix: Methods used in supporting the main paper) based on injection rates of 0.33 and 1.06 Mta.
