Journal ArticleDOI
Seal bypass systems
TL;DR: In this paper, an interpretational framework for the analysis of a diverse set of geological structures that breach sealing sequences and allow fluids to flow vertically or subvertically across the seal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mudstone diversity: Origin and implications for source, seal, and reservoir properties in petroleum systems
TL;DR: For example, the authors showed that high-magnification observations both in modern and ancient sediments demonstrate that mudstones are texturally and mineralogically heterogeneous; this variability is not always readily apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane Adsorption on Shale under Simulated Geological Temperature and Pressure Conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of methane on a dry, organic-rich Alum shale sample was studied at pressures up to ∼14 MPa and temperatures in the range 300-473 K, which are relevant to gas storage under geological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The controls on the composition of biodegraded oils in the deep subsurface - part 1: biodegradation rates in petroleum reservoirs
Steve Larter,A. Wilhelms,Ian M. Head,Martin P. Koopmans,Andrew C. Aplin,Rolando di Primio,C. Zwach,Michael Erdmann,Nils Telnæs +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used diffusion-controlled oil column compositional gradient modeling and mixed oil kinetic models to estimate the degradation rate of an entire oil column for light and heavy oil reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-pressure methane adsorption and characterization of pores in Posidonia shales and isolated kerogens.
TL;DR: In this paper, the porosities and pore characteristics of bulk shales and isolated kerogens were determined for immature, oil-window, and gas-window mature samples from the Lower Toarcian Posidonia shale formation.
