DeepSink provides subsurface data and interpretation that public bodies can cite when regulating carbon storage, managing groundwater and licensing geothermal resources.
01 / Public-sector challenges
Site characterization, capacity ranges and containment evidence for carbon dioxide (CO2) storage, set out so that a regulator can test each assumption.
Borehole logging and interpretation that identify aquifer intervals, their extent and quality, and support the design of monitoring networks.
Well evaluation and formation screening to inform licensing rounds and national resource inventories.
Technical input on geological storage and subsurface resources for national reporting [VERIFY: reporting frameworks supported].
02 / Alignment with standards and policy
This table lists the standards and frameworks against which DeepSink's work is carried out. Each row remains marked for verification until the applicable standard and the supporting evidence have been supplied.
| Area of work | Standard or framework | How the work aligns |
|---|---|---|
| CO2 geological storage | [VERIFY: standard] | [VERIFY: scope of alignment] |
| Monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) | [VERIFY: framework] | [VERIFY: scope of alignment] |
| Groundwater assessment | [VERIFY: national guideline] | [VERIFY: scope of alignment] |
| Borehole log data and formats | [VERIFY: data standard] | [VERIFY: scope of alignment] |
| Quality management | [VERIFY: standard] | [VERIFY: certified or working to] |
| Health, safety and environment | [VERIFY: standard] | [VERIFY: certified or working to] |
Source: To be completed by the owner. No standard, law or framework is claimed on this page until verified.
03 / Services
Resource evaluation for groundwater, basalt and geothermal wells, built on logged and tested data rather than surface inference alone.
Screening, monitoring design and technical evaluation for CO2 storage, stated with the uncertainty a regulator or investor needs to see.
Wireline logging, petrophysics and core-log integration that turn a borehole into a calibrated record of the formations it crosses.
Courses and curricula in borehole logging, interpretation and carbon storage, built so that agency, industry and university teams can do the work themselves.
Independent technical evidence for investment decisions and renewable infrastructure: what the subsurface supports, and how sure that is.
04 / How an engagement runs
| Item | What the client receives |
|---|---|
| Reports | An interpretation report recording data, methods, results and uncertainty, written to be filed and cited. |
| Datasets | Acquired logs and interpreted curves in open, non-proprietary formats [VERIFY: formats]. |
| Training | A handover session on the results and how to use the data [VERIFY: confirm offered]. |
| Review points | Inception, interim findings and draft report [VERIFY: standard review points]. |
| Data ownership | Data acquired for the client is handed over in full at close-out [VERIFY: ownership terms]. |
Source: Standard terms to be confirmed by the owner.
05 / Capacity building and knowledge transfer
Courses for agency staff in log acquisition, quality control and interpretation, and curricula for local universities and colleges.
Support in setting up consistent formats and archives for borehole data [VERIFY: confirm offered].
Joint work with universities, surveys and local firms [VERIFY: confirm partners and arrangements].

DeepSink can be engaged directly, under a framework agreement, or as a specialist subcontractor to a lead consultant [VERIFY: routes and registrations held].
Services, methods, team and company details in a form that can be filed with a procurement record.
The current file is a labelled placeholder [VERIFY: final PDF from owner].
07 / Selected public-sector work
Placeholder case study
Placeholder case study. Wireline logging and interpretation across a set of groundwater boreholes to map aquifer intervals and support a monitoring network design.
08 / Questions from public bodies
Directly, under a framework agreement, or as a subcontractor. Registration and compliance documents are supplied for the procurement file [VERIFY: supplier registrations held].
Data acquired for a client is handed over at close-out in open formats, together with the interpretation report [VERIFY: ownership and licence terms].
DeepSink is a consultancy and reports what the data shows. Any commercial interest that could bear on a recommendation is declared before work starts [VERIFY: conflict-of-interest policy].
Project data is held under access control and is not shared with third parties without written consent [VERIFY: storage location, retention period and security measures].
09 / Technical briefing
A briefing sets out what data exists, what could be established from it, and what further work would be needed. It carries no obligation.
