2 Sedimentary Basins in the US
3 Suitability of Sedimentary Basins for Geologic Sequestration
4 Evolution of Sedimentary Basins Carbonates Evaporites Shales (Caprock)
5 Present Day Evolution of Evaporative Cap - Arabian Gulf Analog to portions of the Arbuckle CO2 injection zone at Wellington Field, KS
6 ~ 50 million years Tidal Effects Reflected in Geologic Logs Time GR/CGR/ SP/Cal Microresistivity Neutron-Den-Pe Sonic Impedance Reflection Coefficient Synthetic 100 Hz Top Cherokee Gp. Secondary caprock Top Mississippian Pay CO2-EOR pilot Depth Equiv. Caprock Pierson Fm. Chattanooga Sh. Simpson Group Primary caprock Interval Carbonate Top Arbuckle Evaporite Ø N Jefferson City- Cotter Roubidoux Fm. Gasconade Dol. Gunter Ss. Baffle/barrier -Tight, dense - High impedance CO2 Injection zone
7 Importance of Characterization on CO2 Plume and Pressure Projections Coarse Vertical Characterization Meter-scale Vertical Characterization Co 2 Plume Co 2 Plume Induced Pressure Induced Pressure
8 Wellington CO 2 Sequestration and EOR Site 26,000 tons Mississippian 26,000 tons (Saline Aquifer)
9 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Image Logging Effect of Pore Space on Time to Return to Equilibrium
10 NMR Variables and Their Influence on Petropohphsical Properties T1 Time: Time to align the protons with the magnetic field T2 Time: Time for protons to recover, through bulk, diffusion, and surface relaxivity
11 Mississippian MRI
12 Caprock MRI Permeability #1-28, lower Miss to top Arbuckle Magnetic resonance imaging analysis low high small large T2 (pore size) Lower Mississippian argillaceous dolosiltone, small pores 50 ft high low Porosity Chattanooga Shale Smallest pores Simpson shales, Smallest pores Top Arbuckle Caprock evidence of lower Miss. : Micro-nano darcy perm Quiet fracture wise Organic matter ~2% TOC
13 50 ft Flow Units in the Lower Arbuckle Injection Zone KGS #1-32 Porosity% KGS # Ø Connected vugs Solution & fracture Wellington #1-32 Nonconnected vugs Interparticle/matrix Doveton and Fazelalavi, 2012 Porosity% Ø Wells 3500 ft apart Flow unit boundaries Wellington #1-28 Utilize whole core analysis, NMR, spectral sonic, and resistivity logs
14 Porosity and Hydraulic Conductivity Comparsion with Core Data Good match with core data
15 MRI and PHND Estimates of Porosity MRI effective porosity and neutron-density crossplot porosity in the Arbuckle of Wellington #1-32 Conclusion: there is a good match between MRI porosity and lithologycorrected neutron-density porosity which is a useful cross-validation of these logs
16 Permeability Profile of Arbuckle (NMR) Redox reactive ions reflect changes in biogeochemistry (microbial) occurring between upper and lower Arbuckle, in turn attributed to lack of hydraulic communication Mid Arbuckle (Low Permeability) Upper Arbuckle (High Permeability) Lower Arbuckle (High Permeability) Scheffer, KGS
17 Ion Based Verification of Baffle Zone and Caprock Scheffer, KGS Brine of Lower Arbuckle vary substantially from Upper Arbuckle Lower Arbuckle brines cluster together Upper Arbuckle values more spaced out, suggests smaller baffles
18 Isotopic Verification of Baffle Zone and Caprock Oxygen & Hydrogen isotopes of brines from DST and perf & swabbing Upper Arbuckle -- distinct Mississippian Brines (distinct from Arbuckle) Lower Arbuckle injection interval -Waters distinct from upper Arbuckle and Miss - Lower intervals are also geochemically homogeneous infer fracture connectivity Scheffer, 2012
19 Microbial Ecology and Validation of Baffle Zone Baffle top Lowest biomass coincides with low perm zone (Lower JCC) and low DOC Highest biomass coincides with high perm and high concentrations of sulfate Same 9 genera were found in brine from Upper Arbuckle depths Brine from tight zone had 7 genera; 3 less and 1 unique Supports mixing of Upper Arbuckle and some degree of separation below
20 Seismic Profile Confirms Permeability Stratification in Arbuckle South Impedance = ρ x Ø East KGS #1-32 KGS #1-28 Top Oread Thick Lansing Group Shales Top Kansas City Ls. Top Mississippian Lower Pierson Top Arbuckle Baffle or potential barrier to vertical flow (high impedance) Low impedance injection interval Bot Arbuckle Hedke, 2012
21 Seismic Structure Mapping Confirms Regional Presence of Caprock
22 Entry Pressure Analysis
23 Depth-Constrained Clustering using Potassium, Uranium, Thorium Rhomaa-Umma Analysis K- U- Th Rhomaa- Umma Lith Ø Rt condensed condensed condensed condensed Oil show condensed Significant flooding surface from core description
24 Simulated Plume and Pressure Projections Injection zone Holubnyack, Rush, Fazelalavi (KGS) Baffle Zones keep CO2 plume and pressures confined deep in the Arbuckle injection zone
25 Earthquake Trends in Southern Kansas Disposal Volumes (MMBL) Number of Quakes (>M2.0) Annual Earthquake Count Disposed Volume
26 Induced Seismicity - Physical Mechanisms Subsurface stress field Faults slips when principal stresses exceed threshold
27 Drilling Induced Fractures and Leak-off Test Used to Estimate Principal Stresses XRMI Log Drilling Induced Fractures S Hmax ~ 3S Hmin - 2P p + 0.1(S hmin - P p )
28 Extensive data acquisition required to identify faults and assess seismic risk regionally Fault Identification
29 3D Stress Analysis Used to Estimate Fault Slip Tendency Slip Tendency Plot ST = τ/ σ n σ n τ ST= 0.3 (lower than of 0.5 for fault slippage)
