Source potential and reservoir characterization of the Cambay Shale, Cambay Basin, India: Implications for tight gas and tight oil resource development
The kerogen type and maturity level along with the high clay content and poor to moderate brittleness indicates low fracability, thereby restricting the production potential of the Cambay Shale for tight gas or oil exploration.

Architectural analysis of subsurface meander-belt sandstones: A case study of a densely drilled oil field, Zhanhua sag, east of Bohai Bay Basin
The sandstones of the Guantao Formation in the Gudong oil field consist of meandering river facies.  Five channel stories were identified.  The initial story was mostly developed in the middle of the meander belt axis, while the last story was deposited near the margin of the meander belt.

Toward a better understanding of northern Alaska’s petroleum systems: Deconstructing the Barrow arch
Several distinct geologic elements in northern Alaska have been referred to as the Barrow arch in the literature over the last 60 years.  This report is an effort to more sharply define these elements and to introduce new terms that better define them.

Seal failure assessment of a major gas field via integration of seal properties and leakage phenomena
This paper presents an interpretation of a large leakage zone above a gas field in Australia. The authors conclude that the mode of leakage in this specific setting is consistent with a sudden increase of aquifer overpressure. Two alternative models for seal failure are suggested.

Constraining coalbed methane reservoir petrophysical and mechanical properties through a new coal structure index in the southern Qinshui Basin, northern China: Implications for hydraulic fracturing
The structurally constrained properties of a coalbed methane reservoir from the Qinshui Basin in northern China have been investigated using a coal structure index. This index is proposed as a new quantified approach for the evaluation of the coal deformation degree.

Depositional and postdepositional processes of an oil-shale analog at the microstructure scale: The Lower Cretaceous Agrio Formation, Neuquén Basin, northern Patagonia
Lenticular fabric and calcareous nannofossils suggest high carbonate productivity in the water column and algal-derived organic matter of the Agrio Formation.  Evaluation of depositional and postdepositional controls on the resultant microstructure will result in a better understanding of potential target intervals.

Quantitatively predicting the thermal maturity of oil trapped in fluid inclusions based on fluorescence and molecular geochemical data of oil inclusions in the Dongying depression, Bohai Bay Basin, China
Fluorescence colors of oil inclusions may be good indicators of thermal maturity in oil systems charged from oil-prone source rocks.  This makes it possible to quantitatively predict the thermal maturity of oil inclusions based on their fluorescence characteristics.

Rock fabric controls on pore evolution and porosity–permeability trends in oolitic grainstone reservoirs and reservoir analogs

Oolitic grainstones from a range of geologic ages and diagenetic histories are used to understand depositional sediment-pore relationships and how they evolve with lithification. Petrophysical variability within oolitic reservoirs may closely follow sedimentologic trends, which could be predictable.

Characterization of reservoirs, fluids, and productions from the Ordovician carbonate condensate field in the Tarim Basin, northwestern China
The Ordovician carbonate reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, China, are formed by tight matrix reservoirs superimposed with high porosity and permeability fracture reservoirs. Hydrocarbons have varying fluid properties with unpredictable amounts of oil, gas, and water, and they present major challenges.

Grain assemblages and diagenesis in organic-rich mudrocks, Upper Pennsylvanian Cline shale (Wolfcamp D), Midland Basin, Texas

Grain assemblages in the organic-rich Cline shale in the Midland Basin are dominated by components of extrabasinal derivation. This work examines how the primary composition of grain assemblages in mudrocks affect the postdepositional processes that eventually determine rock properties.

Hydrogeochemical controls on brackish groundwater and its suitability for use in hydraulic fracturing: The Dockum Aquifer, Midland Basin, Texas
To better understand controls on the origin and evolution of brackish groundwater, the hydrogeochemistry of brackish groundwaters was studied within the Triassic Dockum Group across the Midland Basin in Texas. The suitability of Dockum Aquifer water for use in hydraulic fracturing fluid was examined because the area overlies the largest and most productive tight oil province in the United States.

Strontium isotopes as a potential fingerprint of total dissolved solids associated with hydraulic-fracturing activities in the Barnett Shale, Texas
A dramatic increase in unconventional drilling that utilizes hydraulic fracturing to extract oil/gas over the past decade has led to concern over handling and management of produced/flowback water (PFW; hydraulic-fracturing wastewater) because the potential exists for its accidental release into the environment.

State of stress in the Illinois Basin and constraints on inducing failure
The stress regime in the Illinois Basin was investigated to assess how the rock column might respond to the injection of fluids, including coproduced formation brines and supercritical CO2.This response is a concern because injection practices could increase pore fluid pressure and potentially induce seismicity.

Structural architecture of the Farnsworth oil unit: Implications for geologic storage of carbon dioxide
Surface and airborne gas monitoring programs are becoming an important part of environmental protection in areas favorable for subsurface storage of carbon dioxide. Understanding structural architecture and its effects on the flux of fluids, specifically CO2 and CH4, in the shallow subsurface and atmosphere is helping with designing and implementing next-generation monitoring technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
