Abstract

The Michigan team at Western Michigan University has provided technical analysis and support of the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Northern Michigan Silurian Pinnacle reefs. This report discussed the relevant data about reservoir properties, including lithologic and depositional characteristics of the reservoir formations and porosity and fluid flow properties through different compartments in the reservoir. The team has also developed models that represent the geological and physical characteristics of the reservoir and seal system.

Assessment of Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Carbon Dioxide in Michigan Basin Silurian Pinnacle Reefs

Technical Report Gupta, Neeraj ; Harrison III, William B. ; Barnes, David A. ; ...

The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) has incorporated the work of geologic research teams (Geoteams) in its regional characterization, project planning and carbon dioxide (CO₂) injection implementation work since the partnership was established by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 2003. Over this 16-year period, the cohort of Geoteams has grown from five to ten states and has contributed to the characterization of geologic sequestration opportunities, refinement of reservoir and seal data, and supported injection efforts through both predictive and post-injection assessments. The Michigan team at Western Michigan University has provided technical analysis and support of the enhancedmore »« less

Dataset MAWALKAR, SANJAY ; Mishra, Srikanta ; Place, Matt ; ...

This introductory report to the Integrated Monitoring Volume provides an executive summary style overview of each of the monitoring methods deployed during the MRCSP Phase III Program. Each method is discussed in detail in a separate report that together with this Executive Summary comprise the Integrated Monitoring Volume.
Exploring for Silurian-Niagaran pinnacle reefs in the southern Michigan basin

Journal Article Labo, J ; Cousins, J ; Werner, W G ; ... - Oil Gas J.; (United States)

Mobil's exploration program in the southern reef area of the southeast Michigan basin sought to identify (1) the factors indicating where and why the reefs grew, and (2) the prospecting methods most likely to work in unexplored reef areas. Gravity methods gave inconclusive data; the CDP seismic method however, along with static programs, was able to locate reefs in spite of problems such as the presence of a highly variable glacial till. Extensive study of a proven model led to a set of seismic reef criteria that were applied to actual data from the exploration program, modified as each wellmore »« less
Regional Assessment for the CO2 Storage Potential in Northern Niagaran Pinnacle Reef Trend

Dataset Haagsma, Autumn ; Scharenberg, Mackenzie ; Keister, Laura ; ...

The goal of Task 1-11 was to perform an initial assessment of the geologic storage capacity and injectivity of the Northern Fairway of Michigan’s Niagaran Reef Trend. This task included a regional assessment and mapping effort to understand the variability in the reef geology, fluid content, and reservoir parameters across the trend consisting of several hundred reefs.
Late burial diagenesis of Niagaran (Middle Silurian) pinnacle reefs in Michigan basin

Journal Article Cercone, K R ; Lohmann, K C - AAPG Bulletin (American Association of Petroleum Geologists); (USA)

Core samples from Middle Silurian pinnacle reefs in northern Michigan exhibit a regionally consistent assemblage of late diagenetic phases including geopetal diagenetic sediment, disseminated pyrite, pyrobitumen, rhombic dolomite cement, and equant calcite spar. High (> 80{degree}C) fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures and inclusions of Silurian-sourced oil in these diagenetic phases indicate that they formed between the Mississippian and Jurassic, when pinnacle reefs resided in the deep subsurface. Fluid inclusion salinities and stable carbon/oxygen isotopic ratios suggest that late diagenetic carbonates did not precipitate from connate fluids but from basinal brines that were conducted to pinnacle reefs by two regional carbonate aquifers.more »« less
