Measured CO2 sorption isotherms with 25 Bakken Petroleum System rock samples from the Lower and Upper Shales, Middle Bakken, and Three Forks formations
Highlights Organic-rich source shales have much higher CO2 sorption than oil-producing mudrocks. Except for TOC, rock properties are not well-correlated with CO2 sorption. Sorption isotherms show only small increases at pressures above 100 bar. Sorption dominates CO2 capacities for upper and lower source shales. Pore-space filling dominates CO2 capacities for the oil-producing mudrocks.
Abstract Isotherms were measured with 25 Bakken Petroleum System (BPS) rock samples using a magnetic suspension balance at reservoir conditions of 110 °C and pressures up to 345 bar. Samples from four wells represented the Middle Bakken (MB) and Three Forks (TF) production zones, and the Upper Bakken Shale (UBS) and Lower Bakken Shale (LBS) source shales. UBS and LBS CO2 sorption capacities at 345 bar averaged 12–14 g/kg rock compared to 1.3 to 2.5 g/kg rock for MB and TF. Increasing pressure from 150 to 345 bar resulted in only small increases in CO2 sorption for all lithofacies. For the UBS and LBS source shales, the higher average total organic carbon (TOC) values (14.7 and 11.4 wt.%) and clay values (25 and 28 wt.%) corresponded to their higher CO2 sorption values while for the MB and TF samples, lower TOCs (0.3 and 0.5 wt.%) and clay values (8.2 and 18.2 wt.%) corresponded to lower CO2 sorption values. When all 25 samples (from all lithofacies) were evaluated as a group, sorption capacities were highly correlated with TOC (Spearman's rho values +0.84 to +0.85), with rock density (rho values -0.75 to -0.76), and clay content (rho values +0.66). However, correlations with porosity and thermal maturity (Tmax) were weak. Measured sorption capacities and rock porosities showed that sorption accounted for about 10-times as much CO2 storage as the available pore space for the UBS and LBS lithofacies. In contrast, the pore space dominated the storage resource of the TF and MB lithofacies.
