Title: Impact of organics and carbonates on the oxidation and precipitation of iron during hydraulic fracturing of shale

Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs is critical to the United States energy portfolio; however, hydrocarbon production from newly fractured wells generally declines rapidly over the initial months of production. One possible reason for this decrease, especially over time scales of several months, is the mineralization and clogging of microfracture networks and pores proximal to propped fractures. One important but relatively unexplored class of reactions that could contribute to these problems is oxidation of Fe(II) derived from Fe(II)-bearing phases (primarily pyrite, siderite, and Fe(II) bound directly to organic matter) by the oxic fracture fluid and subsequent precipitation of Fe(III)-(oxy)hydroxides. Here, the extent to which such reactions occur and their rates, mineral products, and physical locations within shale pore spaces are unknown.

Reactive Transport Modeling of Shale–Fluid Interactions after Imbibition of Fracturing Fluids

Journal Article Li, Qingyun ; Jew, Adam D. ; Brown, Gordon E. ; ... - Energy and Fuels

Injection of hydraulic fracturing fluid (HFF) into shale formations for unconventional oil/gas production results in chemical reactions in the shale matrix. Our recent experimental study determined the depths to which different types of reactions between the shale matrix and the HFF extended. In the present study, we built continuum scale reactive transport models to understand the coupling of chemical reactions and the transport of aqueous species in theses shale-HFF systems. Calibration of the model with our previous experimental results reveals that it takes hours to months for the shale matrix to completely neutralize the imbibed acids, depending primarily on themore »« less

Core-flood Effluent and Shale Surface Chemistries in Predicting Interaction between Shale, Brine, and Reactive Fluid

Journal Article Gundogar, Asli S. ; Druhan, Jennifer L. ; Ross, Cynthia M. ; ... - Proceedings of the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC)

We report field and laboratory observations to date indicate that the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing, as it relates to hydrocarbon recovery, depends significantly on geochemical alterations to rock surfaces that diminish accessibility by partial or total plugging of the pore and fracture networks. This is caused by mineral scale deposition such as coating of fracture surfaces with precipitates, particle migration, and/or crack closure due to dissolution under stress. In reactive flow-through experiments, mineral reactions in response to acidic fluid injection significantly reduced system porosity and core permeability. The present study focuses on changes to fluid chemistry and shale surfaces (inletmore »« less

Experimental evaluation of the role of redox during glauconite-CO₂-brine interactions

Journal Article Tutolo, Benjamin M. ; Kiesel, Timothy ; Luhmann, Andrew J. ; ... - Applied Geochemistry

Greensands formations are globally abundant sedimentary rocks rich in Fe clays (typically glauconite) that commonly contain natural hydrocarbon accumulations and may be important reservoirs for geologic storage of anthropogenic CO₂. Diagenesis in greensands is commonly accompanied by the conversion of primary glauconite to siderite (FeCO₃), a process that could be exploited for the permanent trapping of CO₂. Importantly, siderite formation after glauconite requires that the mostly oxidized Fe in the primary Fe clay minerals is reduced during diagenetic interactions. Here, we explore the effect of solution redox state on the stability of glauconite in sandstones with implications for the diageneticmore »« less

Predicting the potential for mineral scale precipitation in unconventional reservoirs due to fluid-rock and fluid mixing geochemical reactions

Journal Article Hakala, Jacqueline Alexandra ; Paukert Vankeuren, Amelia N. ; Scheuermann, Peter P. ; ... - Fuel

Mineral precipitation within hydraulically fractured shale may affect fluid flow pathways and impact longterm hydrocarbon production. The ability to predict geochemical reactions that lead to problematic mineral precipitation will lead to active reservoir management strategies to improve overall production. Using the Marcellus Shale as a case study, a combination of laboratory experiments and reaction path modeling was applied to determine which reactions are likely to occur upon introduction of hydraulic fracturing fluid into the shale reservoir. Experimental results indicate that contact between fracturing fluid and shale will result in dissolution of primary minerals (quartz, feldspars, kaolinite, chlorite, pyrite) and secondarymore »« less

Mineralogical, magnetic and geochemical data constrain the pathways and extent of weathering of mineralized sedimentary rocks

Journal Article Carrero, Sergio ; Slotznick, Sarah P. ; Fakra, Sirine C. ; ... - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

The oxidative weathering of sulfidic rock can profoundly impact watersheds through the resulting export of acidity and metals. Weathering leaves a record of mineral transformation, particularly involving minor redox-sensitive phases, that can inform the development of conceptual and quantitative models. In sulfidic sedimentary rocks, however, variations in depositional history, diagenesis and mineralization can change or overprint the distributions of these trace minerals, complicating the interpretation of weathering signatures. Here we show that a combination of bulk mineralogical and geochemical techniques, micrometer-resolution X-ray fluorescence microprobe analysis and rock magnetic measurements, applied to drill core samples and single weathered fractures, can providemore »« less
