This book was released on 1992 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the influence of stratigraphy, diagenesis, natural fractures, and in situ stress on low-permeability, gas-bearing sandstone reservoirs of the Upper Cretaceous Frontier Formation along the Moxa Arch in the Green River Basin, southwestern Wyoming. The main stratigraphic controls on distribution and quality of Frontier reservoirs are sandstone continuity and detrital clay content. The Frontier was deposited in a fluvial-deltaic system, in which most reservoirs lie in marine upper shoreface and fluvial channel-fill sandstone facies. The major causes of porosity loss in Frontier sandstones during burial diagenesis were mechanical and chemical compaction and cementation by calcite, quartz, and authigenic clays. Despite extensive diagenetic modification, reservoir quality is best in facies that had the highest porosity and permeability at the time of deposition. Natural fractures are sparse in Frontier core, but outcrop studies show that fractures commonly are in discrete, irregularly spaced swarms separated by domains having few fractures. Natural fracture swarms are potential high-permeability "sweet spots." Stress-direction indicators give highly scattered estimates of maximum horizontal compression direction ranging from north to east or northeast.

This book was released on 2017-10-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surge of interest in the geomechanical and petrophysical properties of mudrocks (shales) has taken place in recent years following the development of a shale gas industry in the United States and elsewhere, and with the prospect of similar developments in the UK. Also, these rocks are of particular importance in excavation and construction geotechnics and other rock engineering applications, such as underground natural gas storage, carbon dioxide disposal and radioactive waste storage. They may greatly influence the stability of natural and engineered slopes. Mudrocks, which make up almost three-quarters of all the sedimentary rocks on Earth, therefore impact on many areas of applied geoscience. This volume focuses on the mechanical behaviour and various physical properties of mudrocks. The 15 chapters are grouped into three themes: (i) physical properties such as porosity, permeability, fluid flow through cracks, strength and geotechnical behaviour; (ii) mineralogy and microstructure, which control geomechanical behaviour; and (iii) fracture, both in laboratory studies and in the field.
