Role of water-rock interaction in the geochemical evolution of Marcellus Shale produced waters
Abstract
Gaining knowledge of geochemical processes that occur during hydraulic fracturing of shale resources for natural gas recovery can provide insight into in situ mineral precipitation and dissolution reactions that affect shale pore and fracture networks, and ultimately the ability to recover natural gas. Measurement of dissolved chemical species in produced waters, which serve as indicators of water-rock reactions in the reservoir, is one approach for monitoring subsurface geochemistry. However, an ability to distinguish effects of water-rock reactions versus reservoir fluid mixing on chemical concentration and speciation in produced waters requires experimental investigation to better understand natural geochemical tracer behavior.
