Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research characterizes the nature of fractures in Paleozoic and Mesozoic caprock seal analogs exposed in central and south-eastern Utah. The results of this research show evidence for fluid flow and mineralization in the subsurface as well as reactivation of fractures suggesting that the fractures act as a loci for fluid flow through time. The heterolithic nature of the caprock seals and meso-scale (cm to m) variability in fracture distributions and morphology highlight the strong link between the variation in material properties and the response to changing stress conditions. The variable connectivity of fractures and the changes in fracture density at the meso-scale plays a critical role in subsurface fluid flow. The presence or formation of new fractures can result in seal bypass systems, which can cause failure of hydrocarbon traps, CO2 geosequestration sites, waste and subsurface fluid repositories. An integrated approach of field, borehole geophysical, burial and stress history modeling, rock strength testing, and numerical modeling are used to understand the effects changing material properties, rock strength, and stress history have on sealing capacity. Simplified stress history models derived from burial history curves are combined with laboratory derived rock properties to understand the importance variations in rock properties and differential and effective mean stress have on the mechanical failure of fine-grained clastic sedimentary rocks. Burial history and rock strength data show that in units that experience similar burial depths and changing mechanical property exert a control on deformation type. Geomechanical models reveal changes in local strain magnitudes at locked mechanical interfaces, suggesting that elastic mismatch between layers results in differential strain distribution. Characterization of fracture patterns, rock strength variability and the modeled changes in subsurface strain distribution is especially important for understanding the response of low-permeability rocks to changing stress in the subsurface, and is applicable to multiple geo-engineering scenarios such as exploitation of natural resources, waste disposal, and management of fluids in the subsurface. The analyses presented in this dissertation provide analog fracture data for fine-grained clastic rocks and a dataset for better understanding the importance of heterogeneity in low permeability rocks.

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.

Download or read book Impact of Micro-to Meso-scale Fractures on Sealing Behavior of Argillaceous Cap Rocks For CO2 Sequestration written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-disciplinary project evaluated seal lithologies for the safety and security of long-term geosequestration of CO2. We used integrated studies to provide qualitative risk for potential seal failure; we integrated data sets from outcrop, core, geochemical analysis, rock failure properties from mechanical testing, geophysical wireline log analysis, and geomechanical modeling to understand the effects of lithologic heterogeneity and changing mechanical properties have on the mechanical properties of the seal. The objectives of this study were to characterize cap rock seals using natural field analogs, available drillhole logging data and whole-rock core, geochemical and isotopic analyses. Rock deformation experiments were carried out on collected samples to develop better models of risk estimation for potential cap rock seal failure. We also sampled variably faulted and fractured cap rocks to examine the impacts of mineralization and/or alteration on the mechanical properties. We compared CO2 reacted systems to non-CO2 reacted seal rock types to determine response of each to increased pore fluid pressures and potential for the creation of unintentional hydrofractures at depth.

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 Petroleum Generation, Migration and Storage in Shale System by : Xiaomin Xie
Download or read book Petroleum Generation, Migration and Storage in Shale System written by Xiaomin Xie and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shale resource systems include conventional source rocks, unconventional resources such as shale gas and shale oil system. Regardless of the type of shale resource system, the issues of petroleum formation processes (including petroleum generation, migration and storage) are very important in petroleum evaluation and exploration. Because of the complicated and different geological settings in the world, the evaluation approaches and workflows may not be easily implemented following those from successful examples. Thus, the mechanisms of petroleum formation are fundamental for petroleum exploration and production all over in the world. The reason this special issue focuses on the shale system is because the shale system is not only the main source rock type but also the main unconventional reservoir type in the world.
