  • Helium in Northeastern British Columbia
    HELIUM IN NORTHEASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA Elizabeth G. Johnson1 ABSTRACT Global demand for helium is increasing at a time when world reserves are in decline. The price of grade A helium has quadrupled in the past 12 years. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing can be used to capture helium as a value-added byproduct at concentrations as low as 0.04% by volume. The Slave Point, Jean Marie (Redknife) and Wabamun formations of northeastern British Columbia preferentially have helium associated with many of their natural gas pools. The mechanism for this accumulation appears to be flow in hydrothermal brines from helium-enriched basement granitic rocks along deeply seated faults. Separately, the Evie member of the Horn River Formation also has anomalous helium accumulation in its shale gas related to uranium decay in organic-rich shales. Johnson, E.G. (2012): Helium in northeastern British Columbia; in Geoscience Reports 2013, British Columbia Ministry of Natural Gas Development, pages 45–52. 1Geoscience and Strategic Initiatives Branch, British Columbia Ministry of Natural Gas Development, Victoria, British Columbia; [email protected] Key Words: Helium, LNG, Jean Marie, Slave Point, Wabamun, Evie, Horn River Formation INTRODUCTION optical fibre technology (8% of global use; Peterson and Madrid, 2012; Anonymous, 2012).

  • Geochemical, Petrophysical and Geomechanical Properties Of
    Geochemical, petrophysical and geomechanical properties of stratigraphic sequences in Horn River Shale, Middle and Upper Devonian, Northeastern British Columbia, Canada by TIAN DONG A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences University of Alberta © Tian Dong, 2016 ABSTRACT The Middle and Upper Devonian Horn River Shale, comprising the Evie and Otter Park members and the Muskwa Formation, northeast British Columbia, Canada is recognized as a significant shale gas reservoir in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. However, many aspects of this shale formation have not been adequately studied, and the published geochemical, petrophysical and geomechanical data are limited. This work aims to document the controls of geochemical composition variation on petrophysical and geomechanical properties and the relationship of rock composition to lithofacies and stratigraphic sequences. A detailed core-based sedimentological and wireline log analysis was conducted by my colleague Dr. Korhan Ayranci as a parallel study, in order to classify lithofacies, interpret depositional environments and establish sequence stratigraphic framework across the basin. Major and trace elements concentrations, key trace element ratios and Corg-Fe-S relationships were used to understand the effect of sea level fluctuation on detrital flux, redox conditions, productivity and therefore organic carbon enrichment patterns. Detrital sediment flux indicated by the concentration of aluminum and titanium to the basin was found to be higher during transgressions than regressions. Redox conditions, exhibiting strong correlation to TOC content, were the primary controls on the organic carbon deposition. The bottom water conditions are more anoxic during transgressions than regressions.

    Shale units of the Horn River Formation, Horn River Basin and Cordova Embayment, Northeastern British Columbia Sara McPhail, Warren Walsh and Cassandra Lee British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Patrick A. Monahan, Monahan Petroleum Consulting/Penn West Energy Trust The Horn River Basin (HRB) and Cordova Embayment (CE) of northeastern British Columbia are bordered by the reef-fringed carbonate platforms of the Middle Devonian Upper Keg River, Sulphur Point, and Slave Point formations (Appendix A). Basinal shales laterally-equivalent to these carbonate units comprise the Evie, Otter Park, and Muskwa members of the Horn River Formation (Figure 1). These shales, particularly those of the Evie and Muskwa members that have high silica and organic contents are the target of a developing shale gas play. Figure 1: Middle and basal Upper Devonian units of the HRB and CE. basinal succession platform succession Fort Simpson Shale Muskwa Muskwa Upper Devonian Otter Park Slave Point Slave Pt/Sulphur Point basinal Middle Devonian equivalents Sulphur Point Evie Upper Keg River Lower Keg River Exploration activity for these shales in this lightly developed region has developed dramatically over the past two years (Adams et al, 2007). Total bonus paid for rights to the Horn River Shale exceeded $400 million in 2007. Experimental schemes, which allow an operator to hold well data confidential for 3 years, have been granted to several companies within the HRB and CE, and 48 wells have been licensed or drilled to test these targets since 2004 (Appendix A). Few results are available, but the recompletion of a vertical well in d-60-I/94-O-9 in the HRB resulted in a gas flow of 13 e3m3/, and EOG recently announced gas flow of 140 e3m3/d from their horizontal well in a-26-G/94-O-9.

  • Horn River Basin Aquifer Characterization Project Phase 2 Geological Report
    HORN RIVER BASIN AQUIFER CHARACTERIZATION PROJECT PHASE 2 GEOLOGICAL REPORT Prepared for: HORN RIVER BASIN PRODUCERS GROUP GEOSCIENCE B.C. September, 2011 Petrel Robertson Consulting Ltd. 500, 736 – 8th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta T2P 1H4 www.petrelrob.com EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Geoscience BC‟s Phase 1 Horn River Basin Aquifer Characterization Project (PRCL, 2010) concluded that the Mississippian Debolt-Rundle carbonate platform demonstrates the best potential to act as a productive water source and sink for the completions activities of producers in the Horn River Basin. Phase 2 of the study reinforces this conclusion and adds data from new wells drilled since completion of the Phase 1 report. Resulting map revisions increase the overall enhanced reservoir volume, particularly in the centre of the basin, where well control had been sparse. The Debolt-Rundle carbonate platform has been subdivided into four units that are mappable across the basin: the lower, middle and upper Rundle, capped by the Debolt. At the top of the upper Rundle and Debolt, reservoir quality is enhanced by leaching and dolomitization beneath the pre-Cretaceous unconformity, forming a unit referred to as the “Detrital Zone”. The highest-quality and most continuous water-bearing reservoirs thus occur within the upper Rundle and Debolt where they subcrop beneath the pre-Cretaceous unconformity in the eastern part of the Horn River Basin. Reservoir quality mapping was focused on the Debolt-Rundle succession. Net porous reservoir and porosity-thickness maps from the Phase 1 study were updated using sample cuttings observations and well logs from Phase 2 wells. As in Phase 1, approximations regarding reservoir quality had to be applied because of the highly heterogeneous nature of the “Detrital Zone”.
