The vadose zone beneath the USDOE’s Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State (Fig. 1) received approximately 1 trillion liters (450 billion gallons) of liquid waste, some contaminated with radioactive and hazardous contaminants. Today, Hanford is engaged in the world’s largest environmentalcleanup project, and a variety of conceptual and mathematical vadose zone models have been developed ...

The current study uses an integrated lithofacies, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis to investigate the sedimentary processes, depositional architecture, reservoir rock potential of Tredian Formation’s (Mid-Triassic) mixed siliciclastic carbonate succession in Salt Trans-Indus Ranges. formation has been divided litho-stratigraphically into two components: lower ...

Ascertaining the emplacement mechanism of oceanic basaltic lavas is important in understanding how ocean floor topography produced and plates evolve, particularly during early stages crustal development a supra-subduction zone. A detailed study volcanic stratigraphy at International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1438 Amami Sankaku Basin, west Kyushu–Palau Ridge, has revealed lava accreti...

Farnsworth Field Unit (FWU), a mature oilfield currently undergoing CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the northeastern Texas panhandle, is study area for an extensive project undertaken by Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP). SWP characterizing field and monitoring modeling injection fluid flow processes with intent of verifying storage CO2 timeframe 100–1000 years. Co...

The lacustrine shale in the second member of Kongdian Formation (Ek2) is most significant target oil exploration Cangdong Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, China. To investigate occurrence mechanisms and to reveal influencing factors mobility Ek2, a series analyses (X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), total organic carbon (TOC) analysis, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, low-t...

Abstract The present study investigates the reservoir characteristics of Mount Messenger Formation Kaimiro-Ngatoro Field which was deposited in deep-water environment. A 3D seismic dataset, core data and well from were utilized to identify lithofacies, sedimentary structures, stratigraphic units, depositional environments construct geological models. Five different lithologies sandstone, sandy ...

Abstract Underground CO 2 storage is a promising technology for mitigating climate change. In this vein, the subsurface condition was inherited lot of uncertainties that prevent success project. Therefore, study aims to build 3D model under geological enhancing capacity in Shahejie Formation (Es1), Nv32 block, China. The well logs, seismic data, and data were used construction 3-D petrophysical...

This study delineates sandstone reservoir flow zones in the north-western Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa, using conventional core porosity and permeability data. The workflow begins by integrating sedimentology reports logs to identify lithofacies before evaluating petrophysical zones. Three were classified as 1, 2, 3. Lithofacies 1 is a silty shale bioturbated sandstone, 2 an interbed...

In this chapter, the definition of shale gas is reinterpreted and proposed: Shale “residual gas” in source rock that has not been discharged time. exists form adsorbed gas, free or dissolved which mainly biogenic thermal a mixture these two. Lithofacies paleogeography, as comprehensive reflection facies paleosedimentary environment, main controlling basic factors affecting development organic-r...
