1 Observation Scale Wavelength Frequency (Hz) Anisotropy of Shale Properties: A Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics Characterization Elastic, Mechanical, Petrophysical and Micro-Structural Properties at in situ conditions Joel Sarout Lionel Esteban, Claudio Delle Piane, Bruce Maney, Dave Dewhurst and Ben Clennell CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering Shale Research Consortium
2 Motivation: Anisotropy of Fluid Transport Faulted reservoir Anticline reservoir B A A. Side-Burden: Permeability k along shale bedding B. Over-Burden: Permeability k perpendicular to shale bedding Calculate k for any angle (k second-rank tensor + shale T.I.) Need to assess: Permeability anisotropy
3 Motivation: Seismic/Ultrasonic Anisotropy Affects seismic data processing, inversion and interpretation (cross-well, VSP, AVO, time-lapse, ray tracing, tomography ) Nankai accretionary wedge offshore Japan s southeast margin Source: NORSAR Need to assess: Elastic anisotropy Isotropy Vertical Transverse Isotropy Tilted Transverse Isotropy Stress-dependence Emphasis on Thomsen s δ Source: Moore et al. (2007)
4 Need for Laboratory Characterization of Rock Anisotropy for Field Applications Micro-Structure - 2-D (SEM) - 3-D (X-Ray CT) Water Content / Distribution Fluid Transport - Permeability - Diffusivity Mechanical Strength - Cohesion - Internal Friction Angle Elasticity -Static -Dynamic Physical Properties Laboratory Probing Techniques SEM 2-D Imaging X-Ray 3-D Tomography Water Circulation Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Triaxial Deformation Stress Anisotropy Scratching Wave Propagation nm 10-9 m m 10-6 m mm 10-3 m cm 10-2 m km m Characterization Scales

21 Over-Consolidated Triaxial Loading
22 Seismic Data Processing Assumption: Bedding/T.I. symmetry plane is horizontal 25 different Azimuth angles 17 different Dip angles ~ 90 different ray paths Fit Thomsen s weak anisotropy model to V P (dip) V P ( θ ) α 1+ δ sin ( θ ) cos ( θ ) + ε cos ( θ ) θ = Dip Angle α = V P ( 90 ) ( )

24 Effect of Water Saturation
25 Effect of Isotropic Stress
26 Anisotropy of Mechanical Properties
27 Mechanical Anisotropy M // / M = 0.54 No apparent difference between axial and radial strains Differentiation between axial and radial strains
28 Effect of Stress Anisotropy
29 Effect of Stress Anisotropy
30 Effect of Stress Anisotropy (Triaxial): Low-Resolution Characterization (mm to cm scale) Axial Loading A-A B-B A-A B-B
31 (Preliminary) Conclusion Fluid transport anisotropy strongly scale-dependent Seismic anisotropy strongly stress-sensitive Mechanical anisotropy poorly related to seismic anisotropy Stress anisotropy crucial factor controlling rock anisotropy Anisotropy is a scale-dependent (theoretical) concept not to be confused with the heterogeneity (practical) concept Anisotropy is also a property-dependent concept Need to state scale and property when reporting anisotropy Given rock (nano-/micro-/meso-/macro-) structure gives rise to different anisotropy magnitudes for various physical properties
