AbstractAbstract
[en] In the present investigation, Bhavnagar lignites of the Saurashtra basin (Gujarat) have been studied to assess their hydrocarbon generating potential. The samples of upper as well as lower lignite seams have been studied through microscopy and subjected to various chemical analyses viz. proximate analysis, ultimate analysis and Rock-Eval Pyrolysis. These lignites have high moisture and low to moderate ash yield but are characterized by high volatile matter. Petrographically they comprise predominantly of huminite group maceral while liptinite and inertinite groups occur in subordinated amount. Huminite is chiefly composed of detrohuminite and telohuminite. The Tmax (av. 416.23 °C) and huminite reflectivity (0.28%–0.30%) indicate a low degree of maturity for these lignites which is also substantiated by the Tmax versus hydrogen index plot. The organic matter is subjugated by kerogen Type-III with a potential to expel hydrocarbon on liquefaction. Study further reveals that the fixed hydrocarbon is several folds higher than the free hydrocarbons. Being high in reactive maceral content, a high ‘conversion’ and good ‘oil yield’ values for these lignites were observed. Thus, the empirically derived values match well with those obtained through the experimental values of Rock-Eval Pyrolysis and validate their hydrocarbon generating potential.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Kinetics of oxidation of oil shales of Goeynuek (kerogen type I) and Beypazari (kerogen type II) deposits was investigated under isothermal conditions using a fixed-bed reactor in various temperature modes. Combustion profiles were obtained using a continuous gas analyzer. Rate data were analyzed basing on the assumption that oxidation takes place on the surface of solid oil-shale particles and decomposition of kerogen is not significant. Oxidation rates were determined and constant overall-orders of reaction from the kinetic analysis within investigated heating rates were found. Effect of heating rates on reaching final isothermal temperatures was investigated, and kinetic parameters of the overall oxidation reaction for each heating rate determined. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Geofirma Engineering Ltd. (Geofirma) was retained by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) to complete a drilling and testing program for two deep bedrock boreholes (SB_BH01 & SB_BH02) as part of the NWMO’s Phase 2 Geoscientific Preliminary Field Investigations. The full scope of the drilling and testing program for SB_BH01 is described in the Initial Borehole Characterization Plan. Borehole SB_BH01 is located approximately 3.5 km northwest of the community of Teeswater, Ontario (see Figure 1) and was drilled to 880.84 m below ground surface (m BGS). SB_BH01 was drilled through the entire sedimentary bedrock sequence to approximately 20 m into the Precambrian basement. The purpose of this study is to provide geoscientific data that can be used to do a preliminary assessment of: 1) the quantity of organic matter present in core samples obtained from selected formations encountered by borehole SB_BH01; and 2) a preliminary assessment of the thermal maturity of the kerogen and clay mineralogy of several formations at the South Bruce Site.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Three general categories of products from the Estonia Kukersite kerogen oil were defined: pure compounds, broad range concentrates, and sweet refinery feedstock. Product development and market research center on these three categories. Further attempts were made to identify and test chemical approaches for producing lower alkyl resorcinols (what the market requires) from higher alkyl resorcinols. The approaches and process conditions tested have not yet produced satisfactory results. Progress was made to interest industry in the phenolic products producible. A sample of oil from the Galoter retort was received from Estonia and characterization of this sample was initiated. The sample was batch extracted and results of yields and selectivity are reported

AbstractAbstract
[en] Highlights: • Realistic kerogen models are utilized to quantify CO2/CH4 competitive adsorption. • Effect mechanisms of organic type and moisture on gas adsorption are elaborated. • Dynamic distribution characteristic of moisture in kerogen models is revealed. • Kerogen IIIA is the optimized organic type for CS-EGR. • Moisture can potentially boost the displacement of CH4 by CO2. - Abstract: Although research attentions for CO2 injection in gas-bearing reservoirs have been drawn to CO2 sequestration with enhanced gas recovery (CS-EGR), the microscopic competitive adsorption mechanism of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) considering the effect of organic type and moisture remains to be determined. In this work, we focus on the competitive adsorption behaviors of CH4 and CO2 on dry and moist realistic kerogen models of different organic types by performing combined molecular dynamics (MD) and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. The effects of organic type and moisture content on kerogen pore structures, moisture distribution and interaction between CH4/CO2 and kerogen surfaces are discussed in details. Simulation results show that CO2/CH4 adsorption capacity and adsorption selectivity are in the order of kerogen IA 2O molecules are preferentially adsorbed on the sulfur- and oxygen-containing groups at low moisture, and then migrate and aggregate into clusters in the middle of enterable pores at high moisture. The CO2/CH4 adsorption capacity decreases with increasing moisture content, while the CO2/CH4 adsorption selectivity, specific adsorption energy and CO2 isosteric heat decrease at the beginning, and then increase with the moisture content. Moisture has a bigger effect on the adsorption of CO2 than that of CH4. This study indicates that kerogen IIIA is the optimized organic type for CS-EGS due to its large and stable CO2 storage capacity. Despite its negative effect on gas adsorption capacity, moisture can potentially boost the displacement of CH4 by CO2 at certain moisture conditions. Results of this study lay the foundation for future optimization design of CS-EGR projects with application to coal and shale systems.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The development of underground storage concepts for ultimate wastes (such as radioactive wastes) constitutes a new target for studying the behavior of organic matter under oxidizing conditions. Indeed, the digging of galleries in underground sediments may facilitate the oxidation of organic matter and can induce the formation of highly complexing and soluble compounds which could modify the confinement properties of the geological site. On the other hand, surface storage of sediment resulting from the digging of underground storage can also induce oxidation. As matter of fact, in order to be able to evaluate the oxidation level submitted by organic matter and the consequences, it is necessary to identify specific markers sensible to various oxidation degrees. Previous works focusing on the organic matter of argillaceous formations of the east of Paris basin, have shown that specific molecular markers are sensitive to oxidation. Especially, the molecular distribution of pentacyclic tri-terpanes exhibits major changes in the case of intense oxidation. The relative proportion of hopanes in biological configuration (ββ) less thermodynamically stable decreases whereas stable configurations (βα and βα) become predominant. This evolution, observed concurrently with the alteration of the kerogen, is probably due to the production of thermodynamically stable hopanes by molecular breakdown of the kerogen structure. In 2003, the wells digging of the underground laboratory managed by Andra, has induced excavation and storage of fossil sediment in surface. These sediments were submitted to oxidative weathering for several month. The molecular investigation of the organic matter from several fossil sediments (Kimmeridgian) stored in surface were carried out in order to evaluate their oxidation state. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The impact of organic matter on the flow capacity of shale oil rocks is presumably significant, and the knowledge about the representative size is fundamental for the upscaling studies. The error of the experimentally determined permeability values is comparable with the contribution of kerogen to shale permeability, instead a 2D numerical model is employed to explore the normalised equivalent permeability and the representative elementary area (REA) of shale oil rocks in detail incorporating the effects of kerogen. The discussions on the normalised equivalent permeability and the REA are based on the statistical average and standard deviation from 1000 different runs, respectively. The inorganic permeability heterogeneity is introduced based on the assumption of a lognormal pore size distribution and the Monte Carlo sampling method. The effects of kerogen geometric characteristics are incorporated by putting forward several representative cases for comparison. The effects of the organic permeability contrast (ratio of permeability to the inorganic permeability with no heterogeneity), total organic carbon (TOC, volume fraction), inorganic permeability heterogeneity and kerogen geometric characteristics on the normalised equivalent permeability (ratio of the intrinsic equivalent permeability to inorganic permeability with no heterogeneity) and the REA are discussed comprehensively. This work can provide a better understanding of shale oil rocks at the micrometer scale.

AbstractAbstract
[en] We construct a rock physics workflow to link the elastic properties of shales to complex constituents and specific microstructure attributes. The key feature in our rock physics model is the degrees of preferred orientation of clay and kerogen particles defined by the proportions of such particles in their total content. The self-consistent approximation method and Backus averaging method are used to consider the isotropic distribution and preferred orientation of compositions and pores in shales. Using the core and well log data from the Barnett Shale, we demonstrate the application of the constructed templates for the evaluation of porosity, lithology and brittleness index. Then, we investigate the brittleness index defined in terms of mineralogy and geomechanical properties. The results show that as clay content increases, Poisson's ratio tends to increase and Young's modulus tends to decrease. Moreover, we find that Poisson's ratio is more sensitive to the variation in the texture of shales resulting from the preferred orientation of clay particles. Finally, based on the constructed rock physics model, we calculate AVO responses from the top and bottom of the Barnett Shale, and the results indicate predictable trends for the variations in porosity, lithology and brittleness index in shales.
