Measured Sorption Isotherms for Bakken Petroleum System Shales Using Carbon Dioxide and Produced Gas Hydrocarbons at 110 °C and Pressures up to 34.5 MPa
Abstract:Sorption isotherms were measured for organic-rich Lower
Bakken
Shale (LBS) samples from low-, mid-, and high-thermal maturity zones
of the Bakken Petroleum System (BPS) using hydrocarbon gases and CO2 at reservoir temperature and pressures. Molar sorption was
strongest for CO2 and propane (averaging 0.28 mmol/g gross
rock for both gases at 34.5 MPa), followed by ethane (0.24 mmol/g),
produced gas (0.20 mmol/g), and methane (0.17 mmol/g). Propane and
ethane had the strongest sorption at low pressures (lowest La… Show more
