Carbon Sequestration: Potential of the Early Pennsylvanian Breathitt Group, Pocahontas Basin
Download as PPT, PDF1 like564 views
The document summarizes research on the potential for carbon sequestration in the Early Pennsylvanian Breathitt Group located in the central Appalachian Basin. The research aims to characterize reservoir properties and investigate storage capacities of shales and sandstones in the region. Core samples and outcrop measurements were analyzed alongside geophysical well log data to develop a sequence stratigraphy model identifying regional lithologies suitable for CO2 storage and sealing. The model found broad flooding surfaces and discontinuities indicating opportunities for targeted sequestration in the Pocahontas Basin. Further work will focus on the interplay of forces controlling basin development.

The Williams Fork Formation in the Piceance Basin of Colorado contains tight sandstone reservoirs that are an important source of natural gas. The reservoirs have low porosity and permeability but natural fractures enhance permeability. Gas is stored in thick, continuously gas-saturated sandstones and migrates through the extensive natural fracture network. These fractures formed due to overpressuring from coal seams and folding related to basement faults. Integrating seismic data, remote sensing, and modeling can effectively identify fracture-prone areas for gas production from these low-permeability reservoirs.The Bundarra project case study

Kenex have been working with Duke Exploration in order to develop exploration targets for base and precious metal mineralisation in Australia. We have been involved throughout all stages of the exploration workflow, details of which are provided below. The Bundarra project represents one of the most successful exploration targeting projects that Kenex has been involved with and promises to be even more exciting in the future!Mineral potential mapping in Bundarra, Queensland

The Bundarra porphyry Cu-Au project is held by Duke Exploration Ltd, and is located in central Queensland, Australia, 110 km south-west of Mackay. The project was acquired in 2017. Kenex has completed, for Duke, detailed mineral potential mapping over the project area, in order to focus drilling funds on the most prospective areas.
The project area surrounds the Cretaceous Bundarra Granodiorite, which intrudes the Permian Back Creek Group carbonaceous shales, sandstones and marls. Numerous Cu-Au occurrences are present within or near the hornfelsed contact aureole of the granodiorite. The project has been subject to significant exploration work, including mining of high-grade ore shoots in the late 1800s to early 1900s, however, modern exploration has been sporadic, and without comprehensive follow-up of encouraging results.
All available historic data has been compiled and incorporated into a mineral potential map based on the porphyry mineral system. Maps representing all components of the porphyry mineral system including source, transport, trap and deposition have been created, resulting in binary maps which show where each characteristic is present or absent. These are then compared to known mineral occurrences, or training points. The weights of evidence technique was used for the modelling. This technique calculates the relationship of the area covered by the characteristic being tested and the number of training data points that fall within that area. For each map a contrast value C gives a relative measure of the strength of the correlation, and a Studentised contrast value StudC gives a relative measure of the reliability of the C value, i.e. a high C and StudC value implies a strong spatial correlation and a reliable result, which occurs when more training points are captured within a smaller area.
The maps with the best spatial correlation to the training points for each mineral system component were selected for the final mineral potential model. Table 1 shows the eight spatial variables which were selected from a total of 60 mapped.

The Geological Survey of New South Wales (GSNSW) is undertaking a statewide mineral potential mapping project driven by the need to provide justifiable land use planning advice to key government stakeholders and to highlight the exploration potential of the states major mineral systems at a regional scale. Following delivery of mineral potential data packages for the Southern New England Orogen in 2017, and the Curnamona Province and Delamerian Thomson Orogen in 2018, the eastern Lachlan Orogen was selected as the next area for a review of key mineral systems and mineral potential. The study area covers the Lachlan Orogen east of the Gilmore Fault and the study mapped the mineral potential for porphyry CuAu, polymetallic skarn, Kanimblan orogenic Au, Tabberabberan orogenic Au, and VAMS mineral systems.

This document summarizes a hydrogeological study of the Mole Creek Karst system in Tasmania, Australia. The study aimed to identify karst catchments potentially influenced by contamination from an abandoned landfill (the Mole Creek Refuse Disposal Site) and determine if it was affecting water quality in Sassafras Creek. The study used water tracing experiments, hydrogeochemical analysis, and geophysical resistivity surveys. These demonstrated groundwater flow from the landfill through sinkholes into the aquifer feeding Sassafras Creek. Hydrogeochemical analysis detected contamination in Marakoopa Creek within a UNESCO World Heritage site, though the source is unknown. Geophysics identified a drainage pathway beneath a landfill pit transport1.1 December2008 Advisory Board Meeting Secarb Task 10

This study aims to develop methods to increase CO2-enhanced oil recovery in nonconventional oil reservoirs in Illinois, focusing on the thick Cypress Sandstone. CO2 injection could potentially extract bypassed oil while storing the CO2 underground, mitigating climate change. Geological modeling and petrophysical analysis of core and log data from the Cypress Sandstone will be used to assess the CO2-EOR potential. Findings could aid development of otherwise uneconomical oil resources and remove more carbon from the atmosphere than produced during recovery. The results may demonstrate economic incentives for CO2 storage and reuse in oil production from this nonconventional reservoir.British Columbia Geological Survey Activities in 2010

The document summarizes results from the Ross Sea Mesoscale Experiment (RoME) project in the austral summer of 2014. Water samples were collected from 0-200 m depths at 41 stations across four experiments to measure nutrients like NO3-, NO2-, NH4+, PO43- and Si. Nutrient concentrations showed variability over distances of a few kilometers. The highest nutrient removal occurred at stations with high water column stability, as evidenced by oxygen levels above saturation and chlorophyll a maxima. Diatoms, which comprised 90% of the biomass, likely drove high Si removal rates in one experiment. Calculated N:P and N:Si ratios suggested diatom dominance and possible iron limitation across the areas studied. PronHydrocarbon Trapping mechanism and petrophysical analysis of Afam field, offs...

This document discusses the structural trapping mechanism and petrophysical analysis of reservoirs in the Afam oil field, located offshore Nigeria in the Niger Delta. Seismic reflection data and well logs from three wells were used to map four hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs and identify structural and stratigraphic traps. The main structural trap is an anticlinal structure at the center of the field, assisted by faults. Additional traps include fault-related closures. Petrophysical analysis of the reservoirs in two wells revealed porosity ranging from 21-31% and 1050-11,777 mD, indicating productive reservoirs. Water saturation was generally low at 3-20% with corresponding high hydrocarbon saturation of 80-97%, proving the reservoirs toThe Impact of Seismic Facies Analysis on the Reservoir Architecture of CHARL...

The document discusses depositional models for coal exploration and mine planning in the Appalachian region. It finds that the depositional environment of coal beds strongly influences characteristics like thickness, continuity, roof conditions, and coal quality. Coals formed in back-barrier environments tend to be thin, discontinuous, high in sulfur, and have severe roof problems. Coals in the lower delta plain are more widespread but also thin and show irregular sulfur distribution. Coals in the upper delta plain-fluvial environment are thicker, lower in sulfur, but often discontinuous. Most important coals in the region formed in the transitional zone between the lower and upper delta plains, where coals can be thick and laterally continuous with lowHaramut 2015 CV Summary (Rev00)

The integrated study characterized the reservoir quality and stratigraphy of the Mowry Shale and Muddy Sandstone in the Powder River Basin. Five depositional facies were identified in the Muddy Sandstone based on core and well log analysis, with the cleanest reservoir sands found in tidal inlet and channel deposits. The overlying Mowry Shale consisted of three parasequences deposited in a restricted shelf environment. Seismic inversion and lithofacies modeling were used to map the facies distributions across the 3D seismic volume. The results provide insights into the stratigraphic framework and reservoir characteristics of the two plays to better assess their exploration potential.MSc thesis2011

Four litho-facies were identified from core analysis and predicted in uncored wells using fuzzy logic. A 3D static model integrating seismic, core, and log data was constructed to predict litho-facies, porosity, and permeability cubes. A conductivity map produced from the modeling can help identify the most productive areas for drilling.radiometria

This document summarizes a study that used airborne gamma spectrometry (radiometrics) data to map soils over large areas in Central Queensland, Australia in a more cost-effective way than traditional soil surveys. In a trial area of 6,000 ha, the study achieved 55.6% accuracy in predicting lithology, 65% for soil order, and 29% for soil profile class using radiometrics data and conceptual models. The models were refined and applied to a larger 49,000 ha area, achieving 63% accuracy for lithology prediction and soil order. Radiometrics was found to be useful for identifying broad soil characteristics and lithological units over large areas.Delineation of Upper Jurassic Reservoirs Witch Ground Graben North Sea CSPG 1995

This document summarizes a poster presentation about delineating the Upper Jurassic reservoirs in the Witch Ground Graben region of the North Sea using genetic sequence stratigraphy methodology. The study applied this methodology to over 100 wells in the area around the Scott Field, identifying up to twelve regionally correlatable maximum flooding surfaces that constrained five sandstone intervals. Mapping these intervals revealed shifts in the basin's depositional center and effects of syndepositional faulting. The results enhanced understanding of the tectonics, sedimentation, and basin evolution in this economically significant area.SPE-10022.pdf

This document summarizes a numerical simulation study of a carbonate reservoir in West Texas to improve reservoir management. A detailed geological study identified 6 layers in the reservoir based on low permeability zones. Core data was used to map porosity and permeability within each layer. Pressure transient testing found the reservoir acts as a layered system with restricted vertical communication. A 3D simulation model with 6 layers and 288 blocks was created and history matched to production data to evaluate the impact of vertical barriers on waterflood performance and predict future recovery under different operating plans.Don Lawton (CMC Research Institutes) - Monitoring Conformance and Containment...

This document summarizes a field program conducted in March 2007 by the Geological Survey of Canada to address gaps in baseline environmental data between Fort Good Hope and Norman Wells in the Northwest Territories. Nine sites were selected along different terrain and vegetation conditions. Boreholes up to 20 meters deep were drilled to characterize subsurface materials and ground ice conditions. Eleven boreholes were instrumented with temperature cables to monitor ground thermal regimes over time. This data collection helps characterize current permafrost conditions and will facilitate detection of future changes to inform northern development and environmental assessments.Resume.doc - Feb 2015

1) The document discusses classification and thermal maturity of the Barnett Shale in Texas, a world-class shale gas play.
2) Technological advancements like FESEM and FIB have allowed for nano-scale analysis of shale composition and pore structure, improving understanding of gas generation and flow.
3) The Barnett Shale has optimal properties for gas production, including a depositional environment with high organic carbon content, low clay content making it brittle, and a thermal maturity resulting from maximum burial depth that generated gas from kerogen.Initial core descript teachers

The document provides an introduction to making physical observations and documenting stratigraphic sequences from sediment cores. It discusses the importance of studying lake sediments as archives of environmental and climate change over various timescales. Key points covered include developing standardized approaches to describing sediment textures, structures, and facies; using tools like magnetic susceptibility, x-rays, and image analysis to aid analysis; and asking scientific questions to drive the analysis of cores and development of paleoclimate proxies.Assessing polymetallic nodule deposit in the Cook Island EEZ

After emerging from the resources wilderness thanks to its world-class geology and industry-friendly government policies, South Australia is now a leader in Australian mining and hydrocarbon developments over the last decade.
In little more than a decade the State has gone from four operating mines to more than 20 and is rated Australias second most popular exploration destination.
With a comprehensive review of the Mining Act under way, the States attractiveness as a place for resources and energy investment is expected to be strengthened.
South Australia is now a leader in the exploration for next generation energy sources with companies such as Santos and BP leading the charge, while initiatives such as the Governments Copper Strategy designed to treble annual copper production to 1 mtpa is set to establish the State as one of the worlds premier producers of the red metal.
In the energy space, uranium and nuclear energy is another area of keen interest, with the South Australian Government initiating a Royal Commission into Participation in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle in 2016.
The State has become synonymous with innovation, cutting-edge development and a remarkable rate of discovery. From uranium prospects, to geothermal energy and the buoyant hydrocarbons sector, South Australia is now a leader in the exploration for next generation energy sources.
With full support from the Department of State Development, the South Australian Resources and Energy Investment Conference will continue to showcase this burgeoning sector in 2017. From copper plays in the Gawler Craton, to iron ore and graphite developments on the Eyre Peninsula and the emergence of the State as a new hydrocarbon frontier, South Australias resources potential is at last being fully recognised.
The conference will feature the success stories and emerging players in the State from both minerals and oil and gas and will also tackle thorny industry issues such as infrastructure, corporate social responsibility and the future of the Woomera Prohibited Area.Don Lawton (CMC Research Institutes) - Monitoring Conformance and Containment...
