Wellbore Integrity Assurance with NETL’s Safe Cementing Research

Wellbore cement integrity is paramount to safe,
successful oil and natural gas drilling. Cement acts as
the primary barrier between the wellbore and the
environment. An unstable cement can compromise
wellbore control, and research indicates that poor
cement integrity is a primary factor contributing
to loss of zonal isolation in oil and gas reserves.
Although cementing designs and placement
practices are well established in many operational
environments, the extreme subsurface conditions
found in deepwater oil and unconventional natural
gas reservoirs pose new challenges to achieving
reliable cement jobs.
With resource recovery in these types of reservoirs
on the rise, the National Energy Technology
Laboratory (NETL) and its partners in the NETLRegional
University Alliance (NETL-RUA) are
examining the performance and integrity of key
wellbore barrier materials for which data in extreme
environments are limited. One of those materials
is wellbore cement. Our researchers are working
to understand how various cement mixes perform,
with emphasis on potential failure pathways and
remediation technologies.
This work builds on long-standing research
conducted by our organizations to understand and
develop technologies for drilling systems associated
with onshore oil and natural gas development. It also
builds on our work in geologic CO2 storage, which
is looking at the effect of stored CO2, acid gas, and
brine solutions on the integrity of cements at high
pressure and temperature.
As the breadth and scope of cementing evolves and
industry drills toward deeper, more complex targets,
the initial and long-term integrity of cement barriers,
and the protocols for placing them, are critical to
safe, productive hydrocarbon recovery.

JAG Subsurface Dispersed Oil and Oxygen Levels for the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

The Deepwater Horizon Joint Analysis Group (JAG) for Surface and Sub-Surface Oceanography, Oil and Dispersant Data was a working group with membership from federal agencies, BP, and academia that was formed to analyze sub-surface oceanographic data being derived from the on-going coordinated sampling efforts by private, federal and academic scientists as part of the spill response. The goal of the JAG was to provide comprehensive characterization of the Gulf of Mexico sub-surface conditions as well as the fate and transport of dispersed petroleum as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. JAG findings were published in a series of reports for the Unified Area Command as well as the public. This accession contains Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon and Volatile Organic Analysis data from laboratory analysis, as well as in situ Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter and dissolved oxygen data. This dataset was compiled as part of the final JAG summary report, and referred to in Appendix 3 of that report, NOAA Technical Report NOS OR&R 27 (2012).

Thermodynamics of the hydrodenitrogenation of carbazole

A thermodynamic analysis, based on accurate experimental Gibbs energies of formation, was completed for the key hydrogen-consuming steps in the HDN reaction network for carbazole. The results were compared with literature reaction studies. The concept of crossover temperature'' is shown to be a valuable tool in the interpretation of literature reaction-study results. Methods of nitrogen removal from aromatic materials are discussed in light of the findings of the thermodynamic analysis. It is concluded that the removal of nitrogen from heterocyclic aromatic nitrogen-containing compounds with conventional hydrodesulfurization catalysts, temperatures, and hydrogen pressures occurs under thermodynamic control'' with unavoidably high hydrogen consumption. The report also concludes that to reduce hydrogen consumption in the HDN of carbazole, pathways via 1,2,3,4a,9a-hexahydrocarbazole must be followed. Conditions under which these processes are possible are discussed. 36 refs., 9 figs.

Geologic Cross Section Through the Appalachian Basin From Erie County

Geologic cross section C–C′ is the third in a series of cross sections constructed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to document and improve understanding of the geologic framework and petroleum systems of the Appalachian basin. Cross section C–C′ provides a regional view of the structural and stratigraphic framework of the Appalachian basin from north-central Ohio to the Valley and Ridge province in south-central Pennsylvania, a distance of approximately 260 miles (mi). This cross section is a companion to cross sections E–E′ and D–D′ that are located about 50 to 125 mi and 25 to 50 mi, respectively, to the southwest.

Cross section C–C′ contains much information that is useful for evaluating energy resources in the Appalachian basin. Although specific petroleum systems are not identified on the cross section, many of their key elements (such as source rocks, reservoir rocks, seals, and traps) can be inferred from lithologic units, unconformities, and geologic structures shown on the cross section. Other aspects of petroleum systems (such as the timing of petroleum generation and preferred migration pathways) may be evaluated by burial history, thermal history, and fluid flow models based on what is shown on the cross section. Cross section C–C′ also provides a general framework (stratigraphic units and general rock types) for the coal-bearing section, although the cross section lacks the detail to illustrate key elements of coal systems (such as paleoclimate, coal quality, and coal rank). In addition, cross section C–C′ may be used as a reconnaissance tool to identify plausible geologic structures and strata for the subsurface storage of liquid waste or for the sequestration of carbon dioxide.

U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves

Site includes data and information on remaining oil and gas reserves in the U.S., includes downloadable graphs, PDFs, and Excel charts.

Summary: In 2011, oil and gas exploration and production companies operating in the United States added almost 3.8 billion barrels of crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves, an increase of 15 percent, and the greatest volume increase since the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) began publishing proved reserves estimates in 1977 (Table 1). Proved reserves of crude oil and lease condensate increased by 2.9 billion barrels in 2010, the previous record. Proved reserves of U.S. wet natural gas1 rose by 31.2 trillion cubic feet in 2011 to a new record high of 348.8 trillion cubic feet. Though this increase was lower than the 33.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) added in 2010, it was only the second year since 1977 that natural gas net reserves additions surpassed 30 Tcf.

Reasonably foreseeable development scenario for fluid minerals in Tennesee

Document discussing the amount and location of oil in Tennessee:

The Bureau of Land Management’s Jackson Field Office is located in Jackson, Mississippi, and is responsible for 11 southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The Jackson Field Office manages approximately 34.25 million acres of federal mineral estate in the eastern portion of the United State. Of this approximately 1.9 million mineral estate acres are located in Tennessee. The Reasonable Foreseeable Development Scenario (RFDS) forecasts fluid mineral exploration, development, and production for the planning area for the next 10 years. The RFDS assumes a baseline scenario in which no new policies are introduced and all areas not currently closed to leasing and development are opened for oil and gas activity.

Oil and gas data from Paleozoic rocks in the Appalachian Basin: maps for assessing hydrocarbon potential and thermal maturity

Maps are presented which show indices of organic diagenesis, and form part of a data base which includes previously published stratigraphic and structural data for assessing hydrocarbon potential in the Appalachian and structural data for assessing hydrocarbon potential in the Appalachian basin (de Witt, 1975; de Witt and others, 1975; Harris, 1975; Miller, 1975). The potential for oil and gas production in any basin depends on the presence of source beds, favorable hydrocarbon channelways, and structural and stratigraphic traps. Crucial to these factors is the level of organic diagenesis or thermal maturity within the basin. Numerous studies have shown that depth and duration of burial and geothermal gradient (time and temperature) are the chief elements producing organic diagenesis.

Mine and Mineral Processing Plant Locations-Supplemental Information for USGS Map

The locations of 1,879 coal mines and facilities, 8 uranium mines, and 1,965 mines and processing plants for 74 types of nonfuel minerals and materials are shown with symbols on both a large multicolored lithologic map and eight smaller maps. With the exception of certain commodities, such as gold, silver, gemstones, and coal, all mines and plants are shown for which production was reported or estimated in 1997. These localities account for most of the fuel and nonfuel minerals and materials produced in the United States in 1997, other than crushed stone, sand and gravel, and common clay. The poster-size map (Map I-2654) is available for purchase from the U.S. Geological Survey Map Distribution, Box 25286, Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225. Internet versions of the map and seven commodity grouping maps that contain data for nonfuel minerals and materials are available.
The information presented in the three data documents represents basic data about the 1,965 mines and processing plants shown on the map. Included in each of the three documents is company name, site name, State, county, commodity, and whether the location is a mine, processing plant, or both for each of the locations shown on the map. The data documents contain the basic data arranged by commodity, State, and county. For locations where multiple commodities are produced (for example, a mine that produces both gold and silver), the commodities are listed alphabetically. The value figure shows estimates of the value of nonfuel minerals produced in the United States in 1997. These estimates are presented in descending order by State.

WV Imagery - Aerial 1-m color Orthophotos (2011) NAIP

The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) acquires aerial imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to make digital ortho photography available to governmental agencies and the public within a year of acquisition. This four-band imagery was collected in 2011, and was originally published in October of 2011 . It was made available from the West Virginia GIS Tech Center in April of 2012. 

All data was delivered with 1-meter Ground Sample Distance (GSD). The imagery is rectified to a horizontal accuracy of within +/- 5 meters of reference digital ortho quarter quads from the National Digital Ortho Program. 

The dataset can be downloaded by digital orthophoto quarter quads (DOQQ). The data is compressed into MrSid format, with a compression ratio of 10:1 . Files range from 13 to 16 MB. MrSid format images are 3 band and, as a result a separate dataset for color infrared and natural color was created.

 Uncompressed 4 band .tif files are available as well, but due to the size (~320 GB) of this dataset, interested parties will need to provide a hard drive to the WVGISTC. There is a small fee associated with this service. Contact Frank Lafone for more information.
