Advanced Characterization of Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs to Enhance CO2 Storage Resource Estimates – Organic Structure and Porosity of Organic Rich Shales
- Univ. of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND (United States). Energy & Environmental Research Center
Poster presented at Mastering the Subsurface Through Technology Innovation, Partnerships and Collaboration: Carbon Storage and Oil and Natural Gas Technologies Review Meeting, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 1–3, 2017. Advanced analytical and image analysis techniques have been employed to examine the detailed structure of organic matter (OM) in the shales of the Bakken Formation. Samples from three different locations in the Bakken Formation with varying levels of thermal maturity (immature, marginally mature, and mature) were selected for analysis. The goal of this project is to use an advanced field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), image analysis, and computed tomography (CT) visualization techniques to identify and quantify key features that could affect CO2 storage in unconventional formations.
