Download or read book Faulting, Fault Sealing and Fluid Flow in Hydrocarbon Reservoirs written by G. Jones and published by Geological Society Publishing House. This book was released on 1998 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation "Compared with many other areas of the petroleum geosciences, studies of the structural controls on fluid flow in hydrocarbon reservoirs are in their infancy. As hydrocarbon reserves have become depleted and the oil industry has become more competitive, the need to cut costs by optimizing production and predicting the occurrence of subtle traps has highlighted the importance of information on the way in which faults and fractures affect fluid flow. Structural geologists are now having to provide answers to questions such as: Are hydrocarbons likely to have migrated into (or out of) the trap? What is the likely height of hydrocarbons that a fault can support? Is it likely that compartments which have not been produced exist within a field and will therefore require further drilling?" "This volume aims to find answers to these questions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Book Synopsis Integrated Fault Seal Analysis by : S. Ogilvie
Download or read book Integrated Fault Seal Analysis written by S. Ogilvie and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faults commonly trap fluids such as hydrocarbons and water and therefore are of economic significance. During hydrocarbon field development, smaller faults can provide baffles and/or conduits to flow. There are relatively simple, well established workflows to carry out a fault seal analysis for siliciclastic rocks based primarily on clay content. There are, however, outstanding challenges related to other rock types, to calibrating fault seal models (with static and dynamic data) and to handling uncertainty. The variety of studies presented here demonstrate the types of data required and workflows followed in today’s environment in order to understand the uncertainties, risks and upsides associated with fault-related fluid flow. These studies span all parts of the hydrocarbon value chain from exploration to production but are also of relevance for other industries such as radioactive waste and CO2 containment.

Book Synopsis Hydrocarbon Seal Quantification by : A.G. Koestler
Download or read book Hydrocarbon Seal Quantification written by A.G. Koestler and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-04-29 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains 17 selected papers reflecting the flavour of the Norwegian Petroleum Society conference on hydrocarbon seals quantification and showing the recent significant advances in the understanding and application of hydrocarbon seal methodologies.Three broad categories are covered in this book: methodologies addressing cap-rock integrity, methodologies relating to fault seal and case studies both from the hydrocarbon basins of Northwestern Europe and in the form of outcrop examples. With the North Sea, Norwegian Sea and Atlantic Margin moving along their respective basin maturity and development curves, exploration is being forced deeper into high pressure/high temperature terrains, while exploitation and development requires greater precision and realism in reservoir simulations to maximise drilling strategies to prolong field life. In all instances the need for predictive tools and methodologies that address the integrity and behaviour of top and lateral (fault) seals to hydrocarbon traps, both in the static and dynamic state, have been identified as key risk factors and this is reflected in this volume.
Book Synopsis Reservoir Compartmentalization by : S. J. Jolley
Download or read book Reservoir Compartmentalization written by S. J. Jolley and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2010 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reservoir compartmentalization - the segregation of a petroleum accumulation into a number of individual fluid/pressure compartments - controls the volume of moveable oil or gas that might be connected to any given well drilled in a field, and consequently impacts 'booking' of reserves and operational profitability. This is a general feature of modern exploration and production portfolios, and has driven major developments in geoscience, engineering and related technology. Given that compartmentalization is a consequence of many factors, an integrated subsurface approach is required to better understand and predict compartmentalization behaviour, and to minimize the risk of it occurring unexpectedly. This volume reviews our current understanding and ability to model compartmentalization. It highlights the necessity for effective specialist discipline integration, and the value of learning from operational experience in: detection and monitoring of compartmentalization; stratigraphic and mixed-mode compartmentalization; and fault-dominated compartmentalization"--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis The Internal Structure of Fault Zones by : Christopher A. J. Wibberley
Download or read book The Internal Structure of Fault Zones written by Christopher A. J. Wibberley and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2008 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faults are primary focuses of both fluid migration and deformation in the upper crust. The recognition that faults are typically heterogeneous zones of deformed material, not simple discrete fractures, has fundamental implications for the way geoscientists predict fluid migration in fault zones, as well as leading to new concepts in understanding seismic/aseismic strain accommodation. This book captures current research into understanding the complexities of fault-zone internal structure, and their control on mechanical and fluid-flow properties of the upper crust. A wide variety of approaches are presented, from geological field studies and laboratory analyses of fault-zone and fault-rock properties to numerical fluid-flow modelling, and from seismological data analyses to coupled hydraulic and rheological modelling. The publication aims to illustrate the importance of understanding fault-zone complexity by integrating such diverse approaches, and its impact on the rheological and fluid-flow behaviour of fault zones in different contexts.

Book Synopsis Deriving Field-based Statistical Relationships to Characterize the Geometry, Heterogeneity and Permeability of Faults in Mixed Sand-shale Sequences by : Yannick Kremer
Download or read book Deriving Field-based Statistical Relationships to Characterize the Geometry, Heterogeneity and Permeability of Faults in Mixed Sand-shale Sequences written by Yannick Kremer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fault zones can strongly affect fluid flow in the subsurface. Faults can act as (partial) barriers to flow, as conduits and as combined conduit-barrier systems. Understanding the relationship between faulting and fluid flow has many practical applications, including hydrocarbon exploration and production, mineral exploration, groundwater management, radioactive waste disposal, geothermal energy and carbon sequestration. This study is primarily focussed at the applications in the hydrocarbon industry. For hydrocarbon exploration, faults are important because they can act as long term barriers (fault sealing), in which case they can be part of structural traps. Faults acting as conduits also need to be considered, hydrocarbons moving vertically along a fault can either migrate into a reservoir, or the hydrocarbons can leak out of the reservoir along the fault. For hydrocarbon production also the short term effect of faults needs to be considered, as faults can block or baffle flow towards a well. For all these scenarios it is currently diffcult to reliably predict the behaviour of the fault deep underground. The research presented in this thesis aims to improve this prediction. Several studies have shown that fluid flow along and across fault zones is strongly affected by the heterogeneity of the fault zone and the presence of connected high permeability pathways. Both heterogeneity and high permeability pathways cannot be detected or predicted using currently available hydrocarbon industry tools. Therefore this study uses extensive field studies of faults exposed at the earth's surface, to characterize these features in detail. For this study 12 fault exposures have been studied in SE Utah and the western Sinai in Egypt. The faults are mapped with mm to cm-scale detail and samples are taken for petrophysical analysis. These data are further analyzed by numerical modelling of fluid flow through the fault zones. By combining fieldwork and flow modelling, the features that most strongly affect fluid flow (key flow controls) can be identified. Key flow controls provide a tool for efficient collection of data that allow the statistical characterization of fault zones. Statistical characterization of fault zone fluid flow properties can be used to improve hydrocarbon industry workflows.This study has revealed a wide variety in fault architectures for faults in sand-shale sequences. None of the faults studied here is dominated by a single homogenous gouge of mixed sand and shale, as is assumed by many current workflows for predicting (upscaled) fault permeability. With such a wide variety of fault architectures, it is impossible to define a simple rule for the fluid-flow characteristics of faults. For successful prediction of fault sealing and fault permeability it will be necessary to successfully predict fault architecture. Predicting fault architecture will require the detailed evaluation of host rock stratigraphy, fault structureand the deformation, fluid flow and thermal history.

Book Synopsis The Future of Geological Modelling in Hydrocarbon Development by : Adam Robinson
Download or read book The Future of Geological Modelling in Hydrocarbon Development written by Adam Robinson and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2008 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 3D geological model is still regarded as one of the newest and most innovative tools for reservoir management purposes. The computer modelling of structures, rock properties and fluid flow in hydrocarbon reservoirs has evolved from a specialist activity to part of the standard desktop toolkit. The application of these techniques has allowed all disciplines of the subsurface team to collaborate in a common workspace. In today's asset teams, the role of the geological model in hydrocarbon development planning is key and will be for some time ahead. The challenges that face the geologists and engineers will be to provide more seamless interaction between static and dynamic models. This interaction requires the development of conventional and unconventional modelling algorithms and methodologies in order to provide more risk-assessed scenarios, thus enabling geologists and engineers to better understand and capture inherent uncertainties at each aspect of the geological model's life.

This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secure storage of energy and carbon dioxide in subsurface geological formations plays a crucial role in transitioning to a low-carbon energy system. The suitability and security of subsurface storage sites rely on the geological and hydraulic properties of the reservoir and confining units. Additionally, their ability to withstand varying thermal, mechanical, hydraulic, biological and chemical conditions during storage operations is essential. Each subsurface storage technology has distinct geological requirements and faces specific economic, logistical, public and scientific challenges. As a result, certain sites can be better suited than others for specific low-carbon energy applications. This Special Publication provides a summary of the state of the art in subsurface energy and carbon dioxide storage. It includes 20 case studies that offer insights into site selection, characterization of reservoir processes, the role of caprocks and fault seals, as well as monitoring and risk assessment needs for subsurface storage operations.
