In-situ hydrocarbon formation and accumulation mechanisms of micro- and nano-scale pore-fracture in Gulong shale, Songliao Basin, NE China

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2023
By conducting experimental analyses, including thermal pyrolysis, micro-/nano-CT, argon-ion polishing field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR),

Processes and Patterns of Dolomite Precipitation in Aptian Pre‐Salt Deposits of Santos Basin, Brazil

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Aptian pre‐salt lacustrine carbonates represent the most significant oil exploration target along the South Atlantic margin. Dolomitization of the Santos Basin Barra Velha Formation (BVF) is critical for reservoir quality, yet its origin, patterns, and evolution remain poorly understood.

Nanopore Structure and Multifractal Characteristics of Continental Shale Oil Reservoir: A Case Study from Ziliujing Shales in the Sichuan Basin

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Thermal maturity of the shales from the Ziliujing Formation of the Jurassic age in the Sichuan Basin is in the hydrocarbon generation window, which makes it a candidate for shale oil and gas development. The meso- and macropore characteristics and heterogeneity of shales are important factors affecting the occurrence and development of oil and gas ...

Early development of anoxia prior to the main euxinic phase of the Jenkyns Event on the margin of the Western Tethys (Sachrang Basin, Eastern Alps)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the global expansion of oxygen‐depleted marine environments during the Early Toarcian Jenkyns Event (or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event) is primarily inferred from successions in the NW European epicontinental basins, the timing of the expansion of anoxia in Tethyan basins, where hydrography potentially played a minor role, is poorly ...

Pore Structure Characteristics and Genesis of Low-Permeability Sandstone Reservoirs in the Eocene Wenchang Formation, Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, Northern South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Porosity and permeability are critical parameters in petroleum exploration and development. The relationship between pore structure and permeability in near-source reservoirs is more closely correlated than in other types of reservoirs.

Experimental study on initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures in stratified shale oil reservoirs

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology
The bedding planes of the Gulong shale oil reservoir in Daqing, China are extremely developed, which causes the hydraulic fractures to extend excessively in the horizontal direction while their longitudinal propagation is limited. In order to improve the

New Insights into How the Rupture Radius of Deep Fault Rupture Affects the Magnitude of Induced Earthquakes

Applied Sciences
Underground fluid injection is regarded as one of the important factors inducing seismic activity. This study therefore proposes a method to predict the maximum damage area and seismic magnitude induced by fluid injection, in order to quantify the ...

The role of water bridge on gas adsorption and transportation mechanisms in organic shale

Scientific Reports
This work introduces and discusses the impacts of the water bridge on gas adsorption and diffusion behaviors in a shale gas-bearing formation. The density distribution of the water bridge has been analyzed in micropores and meso-slit by molecular ...

N2 influences on CH4 accumulation and displacement in shale by molecular dynamics

Scientific Reports
N2 is generally employed as a displacement agent to enhance gas recovery in shale gas-bearing reservoirs. However, the primary displacement mechanism in the subsurface still needs to be clarified due to the characteristics of shale reservoirs with low ...
