Report on the modelling of CH4 Storage and release in shale matrixThe works proposed here consists in the improvement of the GenMol code (subcontracted to the GenMol developers; coord. G. Pèpe, U. Marseille, France)1 in order to: 1) study the CH4 sorption capacity of the kerogen organic matter, 2) increase the model size in order to tackle discontinuities larger than 20 Å and 3) model the CH4 molecules motion in these discontinuities. The model will be run for a representative set of examples corresponding to the conditions prescribed in WP2. The results will be used to parameterize the macroscopic production modelling (WP3).

Results of the geomechanical modelling, coupled to flow modelling and micro-seismics simulationsApply the numerical modelling approaches developed here and validate them against the results for the experimental investigation of fracking, described in task 3.7, “Experimental investigation of fracture propagation and fluid flow in fractures under anisotropic stress conditions and during hydrofracturingâ€. Most academic codes simulate fracturing through concentrated plastic strain along failure planes. This approach may be adequate for ductile materials, but not for the fragile failure conditions expected at hydraulic fracturing sites. Therefore, the second objective of this task is to extend and use existing codes to simulate fracture generation, and to predict induced (micro) seismicity magnitude.

Report on the experimental results of fluid frackingTwo sets of experiments will be undertaken; firstly to improve understanding of the response of a fracture network to changes in an anisotropic stress field in shale and secondly to simulate the actual act of fracking and development of a new fracture network under fluid pressure. Controlled fluid volumes will be injected at high pressure via an artificial “borehole†into these samples to simulate the fracking conditions expected. Analogue samples will be chosen which show various degrees of discontinuities or compositional heterogeneity. The development of the fracture network as a response to the fluid injection under anisotropic stress conditions in these samples will be monitored closely. The samples will then be analysed in detail to determine the location and geometry of the experimentally generated fracture network, and used to validate numerical models of the fracking process.

Characterisation of key risk scenariosBased on the identification of the key risk combinations in task 3.1, the possible parametrical variations of key input variables within the six focused model scenarios will be characterised. These values will be based on an assessment of the different hydroâ€geoâ€chemicalâ€mechanical facies characteristics expected within the seven different shale gas basins already identified within Europe (WP2, D2.3). This ensures that events and processes occurring at different sites can be compared and contrasted against a common frame of reference, providing the basis for the construction of a structured knowledge base and generic risk assessment.

Use of electrical resistivity tomography to detect temporal near surface changes providing reliable uncertainty estimates for pollution risk assessmentThis postdoctoral project supervised by Prof. Andrew Curtis and Dr. Mark Chapman, undertaken by PDRA Erica Galetti, initially had the goals of analysing microseismicity distributions from actual fracking data, their correlations with production-related activity, and the extent to which anisotropy could be detectable in order to assess fracture orientations. A data set for this was in the university\'s possession in Edinburgh at the time of writing the proposal. Unfortunately by the time the PDRA was recruited, the data were not available for this purpose: the industrial owner of the data restricted their use. As a result, it was necessary to re-design the project for this PDRA. Programme: H2020-EU.3.3.2.3. - Topic(s): LCE-16-2014 |
