The ability to accurately predict the probability of fluid migration from depth through existing wells based on known well properties, such as age and depth, would be enormously helpful in understanding how migration pathways develop and the identification of potential migration without extensive field tests. The presence of fluid pathways is an important environmental issue because such pathways allow gas, either naturally occurring methane or sequestered CO2, to move into the atmosphere. In this paper, we explore the ability of various predictive models to forecast gas migration at existing wells in Alberta, Canada, based upon the characteristics of existing deep wells. Alberta was selected as a case study because of the availability of data in an area that has required wells to be tested for pathway development after rig release since 1995. Wells that do not demonstrate pathway development require no further testing until the well is abandoned. We show that accurately predicting fluid migration requires detailed information on well construction, production, and fluid properties, and even then, the models considered in this study misclassify a large number of wells. This suggests other factors may contribute to pathway formation. Of the models investigated, random forests provide the best results on this data set, correctly identifying 78% of the wells used.
根据已知的井龄和深度等特性,准确预测流体从深度通过现有井运移的概率,这将极大地有助于理解运移途径的发展,并在没有广泛现场测试的情况下识别潜在的运移。流体通道的存在是一个重要的环境问题,因为这种通道允许天然存在的甲烷或封存的二氧化碳气体进入大气。在本文中,我们根据加拿大阿尔伯塔省现有深井的特点,探索了各种预测模型预测现有气井天然气运移的能力。阿尔伯塔省之所以被选为案例研究,是因为该地区有数据,自1995年以来,该地区要求在钻机释放后对油井进行路径开发测试。在废弃油井之前,不需要对未显示路径开发的油井进行进一步测试。我们表明,准确预测流体运移需要有关井结构、产量和流体性质的详细信息,即使如此,本研究中考虑的模型也会对大量井进行错误分类。这表明其他因素可能有助于通路的形成。在调查的模型中,随机森林在该数据集上提供了最好的结果,正确识别了78%的使用井。

A multi-isotope approach to determine the origin of methane and higher alkanes in groundwater of the St. Lawrence Platform, Saint-Édouard area, eastern Canada 用多同位素方法确定加拿大东部圣-Édouard地区圣劳伦斯台地地下水中甲烷和高级烷烃的来源

In the last decade, production of shale gas has tremendously increased, and the need for local pre-exploitation baseline data on dissolved natural gas in aquifers has been stressed. This study investigated the origin of hydrocarbons naturally present in shallow aquifers of the Saint-Edouard area (Quebec, eastern Canada), where the underlying Utica Shale is known to contain important gas resources that have not yet been exploited. Groundwater and shallow bedrock gas samples were collected and analyzed for isotopic composition of alkanes (δ13C and δ2HC1–C3), dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC), and radiocarbon in methane and DIC (14CDIC, 14CCH4). This multi-isotope approach proved enlightening, and results revealed that (1) most of the methane in the region is of microbial origin; (2) partial contribution of thermogenic gas occurs in 15% of the wells; (3) processes such as late-stage methanogenesis and methane oxidation are responsible for ambiguous methane isotopic compositions; and (4) both microbial and thermogenic gas originate from the shallow bedrock aquifer, with the exception of one sample likely coming from deeper units. The thick succession of shales overlying the Utica Shale thus appears to act as an effective migration barrier for the shallow aquifers. However, evidence of upward migration of old brines near major fault zones indicates that these may serve as a preferential migration pathway over a certain depth but most likely no more than approximately 200–500 m (∼650–1640 ft). The geochemical framework presented here will hopefully be useful in other research projects, especially when conventional indicators of natural gas origin provide ambiguous results.
在过去十年中,页岩气产量大幅增加,人们强调需要当地开采前含水层中溶解天然气的基线数据。本研究调查了圣爱德华地区(加拿大东部魁北克省)浅层含水层中天然存在的碳氢化合物的来源,已知该地区下伏的尤蒂卡页岩含有尚未开采的重要天然气资源。采集地下水和浅层基岩气体样品,分析烷烃(δ13C和δ2HC1–C3)、溶解无机碳(δ13CDIC)以及甲烷和DIC中的放射性碳(14CDIC,14CCH4)的同位素组成。这种多同位素方法被证明是有启发性的,结果表明:(1)该地区的大部分甲烷是微生物来源的;(2) 产热气体的部分贡献发生在15%的井中;(3) 后期甲烷生成和甲烷氧化等过程是甲烷同位素组成不明确的原因;和(4)微生物和产热气体都来自浅层基岩含水层,但一个样本可能来自更深的单元。因此,尤蒂卡页岩上的厚页岩序列似乎是浅层含水层的有效迁移屏障。然而,主要断层带附近老卤水向上运移的证据表明,在一定深度内,老卤水可能是一条优先运移通道,但最有可能不超过约200–500米(~650–1640英尺)。这里提出的地球化学框架有望在其他研究项目中有用,特别是当天然气来源的传统指标提供不明确的结果时。

The purpose of this study is to deconstruct the relationship between the Leaf River anticline and the preglacial bedrock paleotopography at the eastern terminus of the Plum River Fault Zone in Ogle County, Illinois, using a geostatistical approach. The contour maps derived from the elevation models provided detailed depictions of the ancient bedrock landscape and subsurface structure in the study area. The Leaf River anticline is interpreted to be a component of hanging-wall anticline at the terminus of the Plum River Fault Zone. The topographic high created by the anticline controlled local drainage and led to the development of the Leaf River paleovalley prior to the Pleistocene. The catastrophic failure of an ice damn during the Illinois glacial episode carved a glacial spillway into the north flank of the Leaf River anticline that interfaced with a tributary of the Leaf River paleovalley. This rerouted the preglacial drainage network and permanently diverted the ancient Rock River to its modern-day position. Ultimately, the subsurface geometry of the Leaf River anticline and its relationship to the local bedrock paleotopography were revealed by the elevation models. The position and development of the Leaf River paleovalley and glacial spillway interpreted in this study aligned with the regional interpretations for the evolution of the ancient bedrock landscape established in prior works. However, this study revealed that the Leaf River anticline and, by association, the terminus of the Plum River Fault Zone extend farther east into the region than indicated by prior works.
本研究的目的是利用地质统计学方法解构伊利诺伊州奥格尔县梅河断裂带东端叶河背斜与冰期前基岩古地形之间的关系。根据高程模型绘制的等高线图详细描绘了研究区古代基岩景观和地下构造。叶河背斜是梅河断裂带末端上盘背斜的一个组成部分。背斜形成的地形高地控制了局部的水系,导致更新世以前叶河古河谷的发育。在伊利诺斯州冰期期间,一个冰坝的灾难性失败在叶河背斜的北侧雕刻了一条冰川溢洪道,该背斜与叶河古山谷的一条支流相连。这改变了冰期前的排水网络,永久地改变了古岩石河的位置。最后,利用高程模型揭示了叶河背斜的地下几何形态及其与当地基岩古地形的关系。本研究对叶河古河谷和冰川溢洪道的位置和发育的解释与前人对古基岩景观演化的区域解释一致。然而,本研究表明,叶河背斜和梅河断裂带的末端比以前的研究表明的向东延伸更远。

Hydrogeochemical controls on brackish groundwater and its suitability for use in hydraulic fracturing: The Dockum Aquifer, Midland Basin, Texas 微咸水地下水的水文地球化学控制及其在水力压裂中的适用性:德克萨斯州米德兰盆地Dockum含水层

To better understand controls on the origin and evolution of brackish groundwater, the hydrogeochemistry of brackish groundwaters was studied within the Triassic Dockum Group across the Midland Basin in Texas. The suitability of Dockum Aquifer water for use in hydraulic fracturing fluid was examined because the area overlies the largest and most productive tight oil province in the United States. Groundwater generally flows southward and eastward across the basin. Transmissivities indicate that water yield from the Dockum Aquifer is mixed. Higher salinity (up to ∼100 g/L), group I water is found mainly in the center and western parts of the basin; chemistry of these meteoric waters is controlled by water–rock interaction with salinity increasing along its flow path via dissolution of halite and anhydrite, followed by salinity-enhanced carbonate dissolution and/or cation release from clays. Along the down-gradient basin margins, lower salinity (<7.5 g/L), group II waters of various ion compositions are more commonly found. Group II waters are also meteoric but from local recharge including downward flow from the Edwards–Trinity or other aquifers. Despite having lower salinity, the water in the down-gradient southern and eastern margins of the basin can exceed acceptable SO4 limits for cross-linked gel fluids. Generally, the majority of the water in the basin is suitable for use with slick-water hydraulic fracturing. Findings from this research provide important information on the complex controls on the chemistry of brackish groundwater and their potential beneficial uses in the oil and gas industry.
为了更好地了解微咸地下水起源和演化的控制因素,在德克萨斯州米德兰盆地的三叠纪Dockum群中研究了微咸地下水的水文地球化学。由于Dockum含水层位于美国最大、产量最高的致密油省,因此对该含水层水用于水力压裂液的适用性进行了研究。地下水一般沿盆地向南和向东流动。透过率表明,从Dockum含水层的产水是混合的。盐度较高(可达~ 100 g/L), I类水主要分布在盆地中部和西部;这些大气水的化学性质受水-岩相互作用的控制,通过岩盐和硬石膏的溶解,盐度在其流动路径上增加,随后是盐度增强的碳酸盐溶解和/或粘土中的阳离子释放。沿下梯度盆地边缘,盐度较低(<7.5 g/L),各种离子组成的II类水更为常见。第二组水也是大气水,但来自当地补给,包括从爱德华兹-三一或其他含水层向下流动。尽管盐度较低,但盆地南部和东部边缘的水可以超过交联凝胶流体的SO4可接受限值。一般情况下,盆地内大部分水适合滑溜水水力压裂。这项研究的结果为微咸地下水的复杂化学控制及其在石油和天然气工业中的潜在有益用途提供了重要信息。

Urbanization modifies the natural water cycle. In this study, a weighted-rating multicriteria analysis was adopted to quantify the runoff index and to assess the impact of urbanization on the water cycle. The considered parameters are (1) slope, (2) permeability of soil, and (3) rainfall. Using the land use map, a runoff risk map was established. The approach was applied to Manouba catchment. The main results revealed that between 2004 and 2014, the area with a high runoff index increased from 32% to 39%. The runoff risk increased; in 2004, the high class covered 18% of the watershed area. This value became 30% in 2014. Results demonstrate that urbanization affects hydrological processes. This method is appropriate in other similar watersheds to estimate the runoff index.
城市化改变了自然水循环。在本研究中,采用加权评级多标准分析来量化径流指数,并评估城市化对水循环的影响。考虑的参数是(1)坡度,(2)土壤渗透性,(3)降雨量。利用土地利用图,建立径流风险图。该方法已应用于Manouba流域。结果表明:2004 ~ 2014年,流域径流指数高的面积由32%增加到39%;径流风险增加;2004年,高等级人口占流域面积的18%。这一比例在2014年达到30%。结果表明,城市化影响水文过程。该方法适用于其他类似流域的径流指数估算。

Groundwater is water located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of lithologic formations. The advent of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) has opened up new vistas in groundwater prospect evaluation, exploration, and management. This paper mainly deals with the integrated approach of remote sensing and GIS to delineate groundwater potential zones in of parts of Palar basin. Digitized vector maps pertaining to chosen parameters, namely, geomorphology, geology, land use/land cover, lineament, relief, and drainage, were converted to raster data using 23 m2 (76 ft2) grid cell size. The raster maps of these parameters were assigned to their respective theme weight and class weights. The individual theme weight was multiplied by its respective class weight, and then all the raster thematic layers were aggregated in a linear combination equation in ArcMap GIS Raster Calculator module. Moreover, the weighted layers were statistically modeled to get the areal extent of groundwater prospects with respect to each thematic layer. The final result depicts the favorable prospective zones in the study area and can be helpful to better plan exploration and management.
地下水是位于地表下土壤孔隙空间和岩性地层裂缝中的水。遥感和地理信息系统(GIS)的出现为地下水远景评价、勘探和管理开辟了新的前景。本文主要研究遥感与GIS相结合的方法,对帕拉尔盆地部分地区的地下水潜力区进行划分。与所选参数(即地貌学、地质学、土地利用/土地覆盖、线性构造、地形和排水)相关的数字化矢量图使用23平方米(76平方英尺)的网格单元大小转换为光栅数据。这些参数的光栅图被分配给它们各自的主题权重和类权重。将单个主题权重乘以其各自的类权重,然后在ArcMap GIS光栅计算器模块中将所有光栅主题层聚合为线性组合方程。此外,对加权层进行了统计建模,以获得每个专题层的地下水前景区域范围。最终结果描绘了研究区的有利远景区,有助于更好地规划勘探和管理。

Digitized vector maps pertaining to chosen parameters, namely, geomorphology, geology, land use/land cover, lineament, relief, and drainage, were converted to raster data using 23 m2 (76 ft2) grid cell size. The raster maps of these parameters were assigned to their respective theme weight and class weights. The individual theme weight was multiplied by its respective class weight, and then all the raster thematic layers were aggregated in a linear combination equation in ArcMap GIS Raster Calculator module. Moreover, the weighted layers were statistically modeled to get the areal extent of groundwater prospects with respect to each thematic layer. The final result depicts the favorable prospective zones in the study area and can be helpful to better plan exploration and management.","PeriodicalId":11706,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Geosciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1306/EG.01241817010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48506942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrated petrographic and chemostratigraphic studies have enabled the identification of sequence boundaries, sequence stratigraphy, and their system tracts for the Lower Cretaceous strata of the Kurnub Group (Jordan); the latter is underlain by the Jurassic (Callovian) strata and overlain by the Cretaceous (Cenomanian). Based on physical characteristics (sharp vertical facies changes) and geochemical parameters (SiO2/Al2O3, K2O/Al2O3, TiO2/Al2O3, Sr/Ca millimoles per mole, Mn parts per million, and the minor elements), 4 sequence boundaries are identified, associated with 11 facies types (from alluvial plain to the intertidal environment) and 9 system tracts, thus enabling the identification of record Lower Cretaceous sea-level fluctuations. The identified sequences mirror the Arabian plate sequences and suggest a eustatic origin. The siliciclastic Kurnub Group was derived mainly from felsic granite–gneiss and metasedimentary rocks (Arabian shield) and was deposited in a passive continental margin setting under semiarid-to-humid climatic conditions.
通过综合岩石学和化学地层学研究,能够确定Kurnub群(约旦)下白垩纪地层的层序边界、层序地层学及其系统域;后者下伏侏罗系(卡洛维阶)地层,上伏白垩纪(Cenomanian阶)。根据物理特征(急剧的垂直相变化)和地球化学参数(SiO2/Al2O3、K2O/Al2O3、TiO2/Al2O3、Sr/Ca毫摩尔/摩尔、Mn百万分之一和微量元素),确定了4个层序边界,涉及11种相类型(从冲积平原到潮间带环境)和9个系统域,从而能够识别有记录的下白垩纪海平面波动。已确定的序列反映了阿拉伯板块序列,并表明其为海平面成因。硅化碎屑Kurnub群主要来源于长英质花岗岩-片麻岩和变质沉积岩(阿拉伯地盾),沉积在半干旱至潮湿气候条件下的被动大陆边缘。
