Abstract Carbon dioxide is the main compound identified as affecting stability of Earth’s climate. A significant reduction in volume greenhouse gas emissions to atmosphere a key mechanism for mitigating against climate change. Geological storage CO 2 , or injection and stabilization large volumes subsurface saline aquifers, existing hydrocarbon reservoirs unmineable coal-seams, one more technologically advanced options available. number studies have been carried out aimed at understanding...
Chlorite, an Fe- and Mg-rich aluminosilicate clay, may be either detrital or authigenic in sandstones. Detrital chlorite includes mineral grains, components of lithic grain, matrix grain coats. Authigenic grain-coating, pore-filling grain-replacing. Chlorite can observed quantified by a range laboratory techniques including light optical scanning electron microscopy X-ray diffraction; the presence sandstone identified careful integration signals from downhole logs. Grain-coating is only type...
Abstract The porosity and permeability of sandstone carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir quality) are essential inputs for successful oil gas resource exploration exploitation. This chapter introduces basic concepts, analytical modelling techniques some the key controversies to be discussed in 20 research papers that were initially presented at a Geological Society conference 2014 titled ‘Reservoir Quality Clastic Carbonate Rocks: Analysis, Modelling Prediction’. Reservoir quality both...
[1] The long-term success of the geological storage CO2 is dependent on integrity sealing horizons, yet there a paucity data permeability, permeability anisotropy, and factors that affect them. Using samples from an ongoing field trial for sequestration, this paper presents measured vertical (kv) horizontal (kh) permeabilities across range effective pressures. Petrological petrophysical analyses highlight what are dominant controls permeability. Krechba in Algeria one largest projects...
Abstract Cambrian dolostone reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, China, have significant potential for future discoveries of petroleum, although exploration and production planning is hampered by limited understanding occurrence distribution dolomite such ancient rocks buried to nearly 8 km. The study herein accessed new drill core samples which provide an opportunity understand dolomitization process deep basins its impact on carbonate reservoirs. This documents origin using a combination...
Saline aquifers have been used for CO2 storage as a dedicated greenhouse gas mitigation strategy since 1996. Depleted fields are now being planned large-scale CCS projects. Although basalt host reservoirs also going to be used, saline and depleted will make up most of the global geological repositories CO2. At present, seem treated if they single entity, but distinct differences that examined here. far more pre-existing information about reservoir, top-seal caprock, internal architecture...
ABSTRACT Thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) is the reaction between anhydrite and petroleum fluids at elevated temperatures to produce H2S calcite. In this study of dolomite-hosted hydrocarbon gas reservoirs in Permo-Triassic Khuff Formation, Abu Dhabi, a geochemically well constrained rock-gas system, we demonstrate for first time clear influence rock texture mineralogy on rate extent TSR reactions thus concentration phase. The controls accumulation were: kinetics. became significant as...
