The objectives of this project were to improve understanding of compaction, petroleum generation and expulsion in nature as well as provide insights that may be exploited by technology for oil shale exploitation. The physical properties of the oil shales were compared to those of other oil shales from previous studies. Similar to other oil shales, grain densities ranged from 1.1g/cm³ to 2.4 g/cm³ with a strong correlation to organic matter content. Organic matter content is related to the oil shale grade used for economic assessment. The organic matter content strongly controls the behaviour of the oil shales including their mechanical properties. Existing data shows that mechanical properties are very unpredictable at high temperature especially for high-grade oil shales. The relevance of the evolution of mechanical properties at high temperature with repect to exploitation and basin modelling was investigated. Only strength can be discussed with some certainty at the moment and indicates the need for more tests to be conducted at high temperature. First indications were found demonstrating how temperature can enhance microfracturing during petroleum generation. Compaction behaviour of the six oil shales was studied under different thermo-mechanical conditions. Strength determined by compressive loading to failure at room temperature showed that the unconfined compressive strengths of the oil shales ranged from very weak to medium (5.3 to 70 MPa). Strength considered as maximum effective stress attained during burial and initial porosity (7.6 to 20.1%) showed that none could be used for burial depth estimation as suggested for organic matter-poor mudstones. Vitrinite reflectance (0.19-0.52 %) limited the maximum burial to between zero and 2 km for the different oil shales. Axial strain at room temperature (1.9-23 %) compared to that at 310 ºC (12-79 %) and 350 ºC (1.38-40%) showed that temperature superceedes effective stress as the principal factor controlling mudstone deformation when rocks are rich in organic matter. Only dehydration of smectite (94-150 ºC) showed a distinct contribution of mineralogy to compaction and was corroborated by X-ray diffraction. High organic matter content favours creep that is very important with increasing temperature. Transformation of organic matter characterised by the petroleum generation index was found to be a source of porosity during compaction (0.7 to 51.4 %). Volume balance (2.6- 12.5 % solid to liquid conversion) supported the increase in porosity experienced (1.5-6.4 %) by samples after compaction. The limitation of the effective stress approach to predict porosity increase during compaction was iv highlighted and experiments that incorporate thermo-mechanical conditions recommended for studying compaction based on axial strain rather than porosity and void ratio change. Characterization of the fluid transport potential from steady-state flow tests of two samples revealed absolute permeabilities from 0.72·10-21 m² to 2.63·10-21 m² which is within the range given for other mudstones (10-18 to 10-24 m²). Measurement of porosity and specific surface area from nitrogen gas sorption before and after high temperature compaction experiments gave permeability values based on an empirical relation from 6.97·10-24 m² to 5.22·10-21 m² for pre-deformation and from 0.2·10-21 m² to 0.6·10-21 m² for post-deformation samples all within the permeability range for mudstones. Flow rates based on permeability from steady-state tests suggested that several million years were required for primary migration from thick source rocks in nature and hence fractures were required for rapid expulsion. Petroleum expulsion efficiencies from samples were high varying from 38.6 to 96.2 % consistent with those from other organic matter-rich rocks. The expulsion efficiencies showed weak correlation to compaction, porosity and average pore diameter. The principal factor controlling expulsion was found to be the petroleum generation index. Calculation of pore volume saturations based on oil generated during experiments relative to pore volume demonstrated that pore volume saturation determined whether expulsion occurred through intergranular or fracture permeability. Petroleum expulsion occurred using both pathways during experiments with 20 % as threshold pore volume saturation above which microfracturing occurred with evidence from electron microscopy. Pore volume saturations also showed that not all pore volume is required for expulsion. Consideration of capillary displacement pressure, organic matter expansion, existence of transport porosity and optical evidence suggests that fracture generation constitutes the principal pathway for primary migration. Detailed molecular investigation of aliphatic, aromatic and polar compounds revealed aspects that complemented bulk data. No fractionation based on molecular weight was observed in all functional groups consistent with the lack of lithologic controls during primary migration. The direction of compositional fractionation between residual and expelled products was also observed to be in accordance with the concomitant relation between generation and expulsion. Unlike in other studies, no preferential expulsion of n-alkanes relative to acyclic isoprenoids was observed. However, cyclics were retained to a greater extent than straight and branched chain compounds. v For oil shale exploitation, several interesting aspects can be deduced from these experiments. Primarily of relevance to exploitation as a whole is the limitation of maximum retorting temperature. Using slow rate heating to attain final retorting temperature is suggested. In situ exploitation would eliminate most environmental problems and remains the best option. The experiments showed that artificial fracturing by explosives to raise permeability is not necessary because the driving force for migration is related to the generation process itself. Based on the retorting process, timing of generation, expulsion and prediction of product composition can all be achieved. As shown for the n-alkanes, products would reflect recovery efficiency after expulsion and adequate location of recovery wells remains a challenge. vi Zusammenfassung

All-Russia Petroleum Research Exploration Institute (VNIGRI), Saint Petersburg, Russia, [email protected] SOME ASPECTS OF OIL SHALE - FINDING KEROGEN TO GENERATE OIL Oil demand is predicted to continue to increase despite the high price of oil. The lagging supply increased the prices for oil and gas and a definitive oil replacement has still not been found. Huge oil shale resources discovered in the world, if developed, may increase petroleum supplies. Developing of oil shale needs the availability of low cost production; the greatest risks facing oil shale developing are higher production expenses and lower oil prices. There are several technologies for producing oil from kerogen bearing oil shale, by pyrolysis (heating, retorting). Oil shale is still technologically difficult and expensive to produce and the major impediment is cost. Developing oil shale accumulations means to face huge challenges, but an efficient oil shale development can be accomplished and an acceptable oil shale industry based on new technologies can be built nowadays. Key words: shale, continuous accumulation, oil shale, shale oil, total organic carbon, Rock- Eval, reserves estimation, Fischer assay, mining and retorting, in situ retorting and extraction, in capsule extraction. Introduction Continuous accumulations are extensive petroleum reservoirs not necessarily related to conventional structural or stratigraphic traps [Klett and Charpentier, 2006]. These accumulations lack well defined down-dip petroleum water contacts and these are not localised by the buoyancy of oil or natural gas in water [Schmoker, 1996].

Abstract This study analyzed the recovery of oil from oil shale by use of proposed systems which incorporate beneficiation of the shale ore (that is, concentration of the kerogen) before the oil-recovery step. The objective was to identify systems which could be more attractive than conventional surface retorting of ore. No experimental work was carried out. The systems analyzed consisted of beneficiation methods which could increase kerogen concentrations by at least four-fold. Potentially attractive low-enrichment methods such as density separation were not examined. The technical alternatives considered were bounded by the secondary crusher as input and raw shale oil as output. A sequence of ball milling, froth flotation, and retorting concentrate is not attractive for Western shales compared to conventional ore retorting; transporting the concentrate to another location for retorting reduces air emissions in the ore region but cost reduction is questionable.

    WRITTEN QUESTION E-2642/10 by Franziska Katharina Brantner (Verts/ALE) to the Commission Subject: Flood retention basins for Waldsee/Altrip/Neuhofen; implementation of EU directive The Land of Rhineland-Palatinate is planning to build two flood retention basins in the municipalities of Waldsee, Altrip and Neuhofen in the Rhein-Pfalz district: the Waldsee/Altrip/Neuhofen flood retention basin (W/A/N polder) and the Rehbach polders on the road between Altrip and Rheingönheim (K7). The proposed construction works will directly affect the conservation objectives of Altrip's inhabitants, the district's protected areas – in which some of the construction work will be carried out – and the nearby bodies of surface water and drainage ditches. The planned flood retention basins will encroach on parts of several flora and fauna habitats and bird protection areas. Even now, when the Rhine floods, the groundwater in areas which are prone to waterlogging rises to the surface, and this is the case in the inhabited area of Altrip. When the W/A/N polder is flooded – both the 'controlled' and the 'uncontrolled' parts – it is likely that the pressurised water and groundwater problem will worsen. Moreover, according to the planning authority (SGD Süd), when the W/A/N polder is flooded the K13 road to Waldsee is left 20 centimetres under water, cutting off one emergency evacuation route for the inhabitants of Altrip. The only remaining evacuation route would then be the K7 to Rheingönheim on the old main dyke of the Rhine, which will then be weakened from both sides when the Rhine floods.

  • Geologischer Querschnitt Durch Die Ostalpen Vom Allgäu Zum Gardasee. Von Otto Ampferer Und Wilhelm Hammer
    Geologischer Querschnitt durch die Ostalpen vom Allgäu zum Gardasee. Von Otto Ampferer und Wilhelm Hammer. Mit drei Tafeln (Nr. XXXII—XXXIV) und 50 Textbildern. Einleitung. Der Alpenquerschnitt, welcher hiermit nach fast fünfjährigen Bemühungen der Fachwelt übergeben wird, ist dem Bedürfnisse ent­ sprungen, die Alpen als eine Gesamterscheinung, als einen Bewegungs­ organismus zu überschauen. Dieses Bedürfnis, so allgemein und selbstverständlich es in den anderen Naturwissenschaften bereits geworden ist, hat in der Geologie noch immer eine recht geringe Verbreitung und die meisten Geologen begnügen sich mit der Bebauung ihres kleineren oder größeren Teil­ ackers, ohne sich viel darum zu kümmern, was in den angrenzenden Gebieten gerade für Erfahrungen gewonnen werden. Die Verfasser der vorliegenden Arbeit befanden sich diesem Zu­ stande gegenüber schon lange in einer glücklicheren Lage, indem sie, der eine in den Zentralalpen, der andere in den Nordalpen beschäftigt, durch einen fortgesetzten, regen und rückhaltlosen Austausch der Beob­ achtungen und Folgerungen Wechselbeziehungen über ein weites Feld lebendig zu halten wußten. Im Laufe des letzten Dezenniums waren uns durch die Feldauf­ nahmen im Maße 1:25.000 allmählich die Bereiche der Blätter (öster­ reichische Spezialkarte 1:75.000) Füssen, Lechtal, Landeck," Nauders, Glurns — Ortler, Bormio—Passo deI Tona 1 e ge­ nauer bekannt geworden, so daß zu einer vollen Übersicht der ganzen Alpenbreite in dieser Zone (östlich des Meridians von Kempten 28°) nur noch im Süden die Blätter M.

  • From the Northern Ice Shield to the Alpine Glaciations a Quaternary Field Trip Through Germany
    DEUQUA excursions Edited by Daniela Sauer From the northern ice shield to the Alpine glaciations A Quaternary field trip through Germany GEOZON From the northern ice shield to the Alpine glaciations Preface Daniela Sauer The 10-day field trip described in this excursion guide was organized by a group of members of DEUQUA (Deutsche Quartärvereinigung = German Quaternary Union), coordinated by DEUQUA president Margot Böse. The tour was offered as a pre-congress field trip of the INQUA Congress in Bern, Switzerland, 21– 27 July 2011. Finally, the excursion got cancelled because not enough participants had registered. Apparently, many people were interested in the excursion but did not book it because of the high costs related to the 10-day trip. Because of the general interest, we decided nevertheless to finish the excursion guide. The route of the field trip follows a section through Germany from North to South, from the area of the Northern gla- ciation, to the Alpine glacial advances. It includes several places of historical importance, where milestones in Quaternary research have been achieved in the past, as well as new interesting sites where results of recent research is presented. The field trip starts at Greifswald in the very North-East of Germany. The first day is devoted to the Pleistocene and Ho- locene Evolution of coastal NE Germany. The Baltic coast with its characteristic cliffs provides excellent exposures showing the Late Pleistocene and Holocene stratigraphy and glaciotectonics. The most spectacular cliffs that are located on the island of Rügen, the largest island of Germany (926 km2) are shown.
