  • Deconstructing the Fayetteville Lessons from a Mature Shale Play
    Deconstructing the Fayetteville ©Lessons Kimmeridge 2015 from - Deconstructing a Mature the Fayetteville Shale Play June 20151 Introduction The Fayetteville shale gas play lies in the eastern Arkoma Basin, east of the historic oil and gas fields in the central and western parts of the Basin. As one of the most mature, well-developed and well-understood shale gas plays, it offers an unparalleled dataset on which we can look back and review how closely what we “thought we knew” matches “what we now know”, and what lessons there are to be learned in the development of shales and the distribution of the cores of these plays. As we have previously noted (see Figure 1), identifying the core of a shale play is akin to building a Venn diagram based on a number of geological factors. By revisiting the Fayetteville we can rebuild this diagram and overlay it on what is now a vast database of historical wells to see whether it matched expectations, and if not, why not. The data also allows us to review how the development of the play changed (lateral length, completion, etc.) and the variance in performance Figure 1: Schematic of gradational overlap of geologic between operators presents valuable lessons in attributes that define the core of an unconventional whether success is all about the rocks, or whether resource play operator knowledge/insight can make good rocks bad or vice versa. © Kimmeridge 2015 - Deconstructing the Fayetteville 2 Background The Fayetteville shale lies in the eastern Arkoma Basin and ranges in depth from outcrop in the north to 9,000’ at the southern end of the play, with drill depths primarily between 3,000’ and 6,000’.

  • Unconventional Gas and Oil in North America Page 1 of 24
    Unconventional gas and oil in North America This publication aims to provide insight into the impacts of the North American 'shale revolution' on US energy markets and global energy flows. The main economic, environmental and climate impacts are highlighted. Although the North American experience can serve as a model for shale gas and tight oil development elsewhere, the document does not explicitly address the potential of other regions.

Economic impacts This new supply of energy has led to falling gas prices and a reduction of energy imports. Low gas prices have benefitted households and industry, especially steel production, fertilisers, plastics and basic petrochemicals. The production of tight oil is costly, so that a high oil price is required to make it economically viable.

Proppants like sand are used in the fluid to hold fractures in the rock open once the hydraulic

  • Assessing Undiscovered Resources of the Barnett-Paleozoic Total Petroleum System, Bend Arch–Fort Worth Basin Province, Texas* by Richard M
    Assessing Undiscovered Resources of the Barnett-Paleozoic Total Petroleum System, Bend Arch–Fort Worth Basin Province, Texas* By Richard M. Pollastro1, Ronald J. Hill1, Daniel M. Jarvie2, and Mitchell E. Henry1 Search and Discovery Article #10034 (2003) *Online adaptation of presentation at AAPG Southwest Section Meeting, Fort Worth, TX, March, 2003 (www.southwestsection.org) 1U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, CO 2Humble Geochemical Services, Humble, TX ABSTRACT Organic-rich Barnett Shale (Mississippian-Pennsylvanian) is the primary source rock for oil and gas that is produced from Paleozoic reservoir rocks in the Bend Arch–Fort Worth Basin Province. Areal distribution and geochemical typing of hydrocarbons in this mature petroleum province indicates generation and expulsion from the Barnett at a depocenter coincident with a paleoaxis of the Fort Worth Basin. Barnett-sourced hydrocarbons migrated westward into reservoir rocks of the Bend Arch and Eastern shelf; however, some oil and gas was possibly sourced by a composite Woodford-Barnett total petroleum system of the Midland Basin from the west. Current U.S. Geological assessments of undiscovered oil and gas are performed using the total petroleum system (TPS) concept. The TPS is composed of mature source rock, known accumulations, and area(s) of undiscovered hydrocarbon potential. The TPS is subdivided into assessment units based on similar geologic characteristics, accumulation type (conventional or continuous), and hydrocarbon type (oil and (or) gas). Assessment of the Barnett-Paleozoic TPS focuses on the continuous (unconventional) Barnett accumulation where gas and some oil are produced from organic-rich siliceous shale in the northeast portion of the Fort Worth Basin. Assessment units are also identified for mature conventional plays in Paleozoic carbonate and clastic reservoir rocks, such as the Chappel Limestone pinnacle reefs and Bend Group conglomerate, respectively.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Low oil prices continue to hamper oil shale development around the world. Although new production capacity in Estonia and China has come online recently, efforts in other places are on indefinite hiatus or are well behind schedule relative to what was anticipated just a few years ago. The current status remains in flux, and recent developments in conventional and unconventional crude oil plays in the United States and elsewhere indicate this will not change anytime soon. Oil shale continues to be mined processed in China and Brazil, but production updates for 2016 were not available as of the preparation of this report. In Estonia, Eesti Energia (Enefit) continued development of their co-generation Auvere power plant that is designed to utilize both oil shale and other fuel sources (wood chips, peat, gas).

Masterson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology Thesis Committee: Robert B. Perkins, Chair Carl Palmer John Bershaw Maxwell Rudolph Portland State University 2016 ABSTRACT The Piceance Creek Basin in northwestern Colorado contains extensive oil shale deposits that produce natural gas and which could potentially yield ~1.5 trillion barrels of shale oil. However, much of the oil shale lies at depths too great for traditional mining practices and various innovative approaches for in situ conversion of kerogen to oil have been proposed. A firm understanding of the existing hydrogeochemistry is needed as resulting mineralogical changes or rock-fluid reactions may affect rock porosity and permeability.

  • Maximising the Value of Surplus Ethane and Cost-Effective Design to Handle Rich Lng
    Poster PO-25 MAXIMISING THE VALUE OF SURPLUS ETHANE AND COST-EFFECTIVE DESIGN TO HANDLE RICH LNG CC Yang Process and Technology Director, LNG Foster Wheeler USA, 2020 Dairy Ashford, Houston, TX 77077, USA [email protected] Geoffrey Bothamley Business Development Manager Oil and Gas Foster Wheeler Energy Limited, Shinfield Park, Reading, Berkshire, RG2 9FW, UK [email protected] ABSTRACT Gas companies have strict requirements for the composition of the natural gas sent out from their LNG receiving terminals in order to satisfy customer requirements in terms of calorific value and quality of the composition. For LNG receiving terminals serving the North American market particularly, the C2+ content and heating value specifications are lower than most natural gases and most existing LNG baseload plants. Cost-effective management of these components enhances the LNG value chain, increasing flexibility in sourcing LNG cargoes. Several alternatives for managing C2+ components in the LNG value chain exist. Generally, extraction can occur at either the receiving terminal or upstream of the liquefaction plant. In many cases it is not cost-effective to reduce the C2 at the baseload plant, as it will reduce the LNG production rate and there may be no local market. Some LNG production plant locations, however, have grown to a size that would meet minimum economic scale for a steam cracker taking C2 and C3 as feedstock for ethylene and propylene production. To accept cargoes of rich LNG, the LNG receiving terminal has to be able to manage the C2+ components in an economically efficient manner. This paper presents a cost- effective C2+ management process design for send-out gas at the LNG receiving terminal.
