Improved Kerogen Models for Determining Thermal Maturity and Hydrocarbon Potential of Shale

Journal Article Agrawal, Vikas ; Sharma, Shikha - Scientific Reports

Kerogen is the insoluble component of organic-rich shales that controls the type and amount of hydrocarbons generated in conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Significant progress has recently been made in developing structural models of kerogen. However, there is still a large gap in understanding the evolution of the molecular components of kerogen with thermal maturation and their hydrocarbon (HC) generative potential. Here, we determine the variations in different molecular fragments of kerogen from a Marcellus Shale maturity series (with VRo ranging from 0.8 to 3) using quantitative ¹³C MultiCP/MAS NMR and MultiCP NMR/DD (dipolar dephasing). These molecular variations provide insight intomore »« less

Effect of maturity and mineralogy on fluid-rock reactions in the Marcellus Shale

Journal Article Pilewski, John ; Sharma, Shikha ; Agrawal, Vikas ; ... - Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts

Natural gas extraction from the Appalachian Basin has significantly increased in the past decade. The push to properly dispose, reuse, or recycle the large amounts of produced fluids associated with hydraulic fracturing operations and design better fracturing fluids has necessitated a better understanding of the subsurface chemical reactions taking place during hydrocarbon extraction. Using autoclave reactors, this study mimics the conditions of deep subsurface shale reservoirs to observe the chemical evolution of fluids during the shut-in phase of hydraulic fracturing (HF), a period when hydraulic fracturing fluids (HFFs) remain confined in the reservoir. The experiment was conducted by combining amore »« less

Transmittance color index (TCI) of amorphous organic matter: New thermal maturity indicator for hydrocarbon source rocks, correlation with mean vitrinite reflectance and thermal alteration index (TAI)

Conference Van Gijzel, P - AAPG Bulletin (American Association of Petroleum Geologists); (USA)

A new thermal maturity indicator, the transmittance color index (TCI), is introduced here. The TCI eliminates most limitations of these techniques and is measured on particulate amorphous material, the most abundant type of organic matter in hydrocarbon source rocks of all geologic ages. TCI is obtained from rapid spectral screening of transmittance spectra in tungsten light and is based on the increased curving of these spectra with progressive thermal maturity. TCI shifts from 570 nm for immature material (at an {anti R}{sub 0} of about 0.20%) to about 680 nm ({anti R}{sub 0} = 2.5%) for almost-black kerogen. Thus, TCImore »« less
