项目摘要

The unprecedented rapid growth of hydrocarbon production from shales over the last decade has resulting in a paradigm shift in the energy sector that has immediate and long term global implications. This growth in production has, however, markedly outpaced our understanding of geological processes that determine reservoir properties, how to measure these properties, how to predict and design for optimum development of the resource, and how to recognize and mitigate environmental impact of development. The proposed research will address these issues, and in particular, develop predictive models of hydrocarbon source and reservoir quality based on detailed geological and engineering studies that will include lithological, petrophysical and geomechanical analyses of major gas and oil producing shales. The research includes development of better methods of reservoir characterisation, establishment of important effective stress laws for fine grained strata and understanding impact of geomechanical stratigraphic on hydraulic fracturing. Engineering aspects and environmental consequences of hydraulic fracturing will be explored including chemistry of flow back water. The research involves integration of field studies of ancient strata, laboratory analyses, experiments, and numerical modeling. The proposed research will involve collaboration with industry, university colleagues and government agencies and provides the opportunity for training of highly qualified personnel in a field in which there is currently a critical shortage.

在过去的十年中，页岩中碳氢化合物生产的前所未有的快速增长导致能源部门的范式转移，具有直接和长期的全球影响。但是，生产的增长显着超过了我们对确定储层特性，如何衡量这些特性的地质过程的理解，如何预测和设计资源的最佳发展以及如何识别和减轻开发的环境影响。拟议的研究将根据详细的地质和工程研究来解决这些问题，尤其是在包括岩性，岩石物理和地质力学分析的主要天然气和石油生产页纸的基础上，开发了烃源和储层质量的预测模型。这项研究包括开发更好的储层表征方法，建立重要的有效压力法以进行细颗粒地层，并了解地质力学地层对液压压裂的影响。将探索水力压裂的工程方面和环境后果，包括流回水的化学。该研究涉及整合古代层，实验室分析，实验和数值建模的现场研究。拟议的研究将涉及与行业，大学同事和政府机构的合作，并为当前存在严重短缺的领域提供了培训高素质人员的机会。
