Abstract Globally, lacustrine carbonate rocks are often found in rift lake basins. Because they do not form large-scale conventional or unconventional reservoirs, have received enough attention previous oil and gas exploration. Recent years, exploration examples China show that has close relationship with gas. Mudstone deposits always a good effect the area. However, genesis of is still controv...

The existence of vugs or cavities in naturally fractured reservoirs has long been observed. Even though these vugs can be largely attributed to reserves of oil, natural gas, and groundwater, few investigations of vuggy fractured reservoirs have been conducted. In this paper, a new multiple-continuum conceptual model is developed, based on geological data and observations of core samples from ca...

A multicontinuum conceptual model is presented and implemented into a three-dimensional, three-phase reservoir simulator, using a generalized multicontinuum modeling approach. The conceptual model, proposed for investigating multiphase flow and displacement through naturally fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs, is based on observation and analysis of geological data, as well as on core example...

The effect of volatde exchange between surface reservoirs and the mantle on the evolution of proto-CO 2 atmosphere on the Earth is investigated using a global carbon cycle model coupled with thermal evolution of the mantle. Carbon is assumed to circulate among five reservoirs (atmosphere, ocean, continents, seafloor and mantle) and the carbon flux of each reservoir is calculated under varying c...

Carbonate cements, such as calcite, dolomite, ferrocalcite and ankerite, play important roles in the formation of pores in sandstones: precipitation of carbonate cements modifies pores and inhibits compaction, while dissolution creates secondary pores. This work proposed a precipitation-dissolution model for carbonate cements-CO2-H2O system by means of ion equilibrium concentration ([M2+], M = ...

Fluid flow features in carbonate platforms of the outer Browse Basin, Northwest Australia, are investigated using 3D seismic and borehole data. During the Cenozoic, the study area evolved from a carbonate ramp to a rimmed platform with isolated carbonate build-ups; as such it played a key role in focusing fluid on their buoyant flow to the surface. Statistical analyses of direct hydrocarbon ind...

Fracture aperture change under stress has long been considered as one of primary causes of stress sensitivity of fractured gas reservoirs. However, little is known about the evolution of the morphology of fracture apertures on flow property in loading and unloading cycles. This paper reports a stress sensitivity experiment on carbonate core plugs in which Computed Tomography (CT) technology is ...
