Download or read book The Evaluation of Subsurface Fluid Migration Using Noble Gas Tracers and Numerical Modeling written by William Karl Eymold and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid flow in the subsurface is a complex phenomenon, significantly affected by geologic characteristics such as porosity and permeability, temperature, compaction, sedimentation, and tectonic processes. The upper crust is often faulted and fractured, and these structural features will alter the inherent geophysical properties of the formations in which they are contained. Because individual techniques used to evaluate crustal fluids, paleo-temperature conditions of formations, and migration pathways each have their own limitations, multidisciplinary approaches must be developed to infer geologic history and past events of fluid flow accurately. In order to interrogate migration pathways and sources of crustal fluids, noble gases have been used to identify mechanisms of fluid flow, hydrocarbon origin, and constrain the temperature conditions of physical processes and chemical reactions. The inert nature and well-constrained sources of noble gases allows them to retain information about geologic history of fluids and rocks over time. Specific isotopic signatures and changes to ratios can distinguish styles of mixing or deformation that occurs during the development of sedimentary basins and orogenic fluid flow. Here, samples collected from the Karoo Basin in South Africa provide an opportunity to analyze the geochemistry of groundwater prior to petroleum exploration. In the Karoo Basin, a field study of the water geochemistry of groundwaters collected before industrial activity showed that naturally-occurring methane was present in the majority of samples and was associated with high salinity and high concentrations of crustal noble gases. The presence of atmospheric noble gases in these samples also suggests fractionation as the natural gas migrated from its source and was emplaced in shallow aquifers. Areas with higher intensity of faulting and fracturing in the Karoo served as preferential pathways during this fluid migration and may still operate that way at present. The effects of faults on fluid flow are further studied in this work by assessing the noble gas distributions along the damage zone of a thrust fault in the Northern Appalachian Basin in New York. Near the fault plane, the 4He concentrations display ~90% loss of the amount predicted and measured in samples further from the fault. The noble gas distribution supports previous fault assessments determined by calculations based on the geometry of the fault core, damage zone, and displacement and suggests that this fault served as a conduit during multiple episodes of fluid flow in the past. Numerical simulations are also beneficial to determine the rates of fluid migration over time and predict advection and diffusion of subsurface fluids based on observed data. By calculating diffusive loss of 4He from quartz grains, predictions can be made regarding the temperature history and permeability of the fault and local system. The formation of gas hydrates in porous sediments beneath the seafloor requires methanogenesis of organic matter and migration of natural gas into appropriate depths where pressure and temperature conditions lead to stability. Calculations based on noble gas observations along the fault damage zone can be used to evaluate retention or release of noble gases in crustal rock and simulations of methane production and migration processes based on input parameters from real world data can be used to predict the occurrence of gas hydrate in Blake Ridge using the flow and transport simulator, PFLOTRAN. By combining field, laboratory, and computational approaches, the results from these interdisciplinary studies offer greater understanding of subsurface flow and can be used to emplace more realistic constraints on geologic inferences.

This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by some of the world's most renowned petroleum and environmental engineers, Fundamentals of the Petrophysics of Oil and Gas Reservoirs is the first book to offer the practicing engineer and engineering student these new cutting-edge techniques for prediction and forecasting in petroleum engineering and environmental management. In this book, the authors combine a rigorous, yet easy to understand, approach to petrophysics and how it is applied to petroleum and environmental engineering to solve multiple problems that the engineer or geologist faces every day. Useful in the prediction of everything from crude oil composition, pore size distribution in reservoir rocks, groundwater contamination, and other types of forecasting, this approach provides engineers and students alike with a convenient guide to many real-world applications. Petroleum geologists and engineers must have a working knowledge of petrophysics in order to find oil reservoirs and devise the best plan for getting it out of the ground, before drilling can begin. This book offers the engineer and geologist a fundamental guide for accomplishing these goals, providing much-needed calculations and formulas on fluid flow, rock properties, and many other topics that are encountered every day. The approach taken in Fundamentals of the Petrophysics of Oil and Gas Reservoirs is unique and has not been addressed until now in book format. Readers now have the ability to review the historic development of relationships and equations to define critical petrophysics attributes, many of which have either never been covered in the literature on petrophysics. Useful for the veteran engineer or scientist and the student alike, this book is a must-have for any geologist, engineer, or student working in the field of upstream petroleum engineering.

Book excerpt: Since the first edition of Fracking was published, hydraulic fracturing has continued to be hotly debated. Credited with bringing the US and other countries closer to "energy independence," and blamed for tainted drinking water and earthquakes, hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") continues to be one of the hottest topics and fiercely debated issues in the energy industry and in politics. Covering all of the latest advances in fracking since the first edition was published, this expanded and updated revision still contains all of the valuable original content for the engineer or layperson to understand the technology and its ramifications. Useful not only as a tool for the practicing engineer solve day-to-day problems that come with working in hydraulic fracturing, it is also a wealth of information covering the possible downsides of what many consider to be a very valuable practice. Many others consider it dangerous, and it is important to see both sides of the argument, from an apolitical, logical standpoint. While induced hydraulic fracturing utilizes many different engineering disciplines, this book explains these concepts in an easy to understand format. The primary use of this book shall be to increase the awareness of a new and emerging technology and what the various ramifications can be. The reader shall be exposed to many engineering concepts and terms. All of these ideas and practices shall be explained within the body. A science or engineering background is not required.

Download or read book Quantitative Methods written by Lan Lerche and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basin Analysis: Quantitative Methods, Volume 1 discusses the problems of quantitative basin analysis in relation to oil accumulations. This book explains the three primary factors that contribute to oil occurrences. Organized into 11 chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the quantitative methods of reconstructing the burial history of sedimentary material in basins. This text then explores the problem of quantitative reconstruction of the thermal history of sedimentary basins based on both inversion of thermal indicator data and on model-derived heat fluxes. Other chapters integrate the hydrocarbon generation, accumulation, and migration modeling aspects with the burial history and thermal history. This book discusses as well the repercussions of various hydrocarbon models for oil accumulation sites. The final chapter shows how both thermal information and burial history can be combined to determine emplacement, timing, and erosion of geological events. Professional geologists, geophysicists, and petroleum exploration scientist will find this book useful.
