Geochemical characteristics of shale gas formation and the potential for carbon storage in Thailand: An example from the Triassic Huai Hin Lat Formation

“…Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has been developed as petroleum exploration and production technology has progressed because CCS technology involves many of the same technologies as the petroleum exploration and production industry (Metz et al, 2005). With the successful exploration and development of shale gas in the United States, the global petroleum industry has increased its trends to increase the exploration activities in unconventional shale gas and shale oil basins and this has included carbon storage studies in these shale basins (e.g., Brindle et al, 2015;Pranesh, 2018). However, shales and mudstones usually contain a wide variety of bedding styles and materials derived from different sources.…”

“…FIGURE 5 (A) Lithotype classification based on the ternary diagram of mineralogical composition from samples in the Huai Hin Lat Formation (modified afterGlaser et al, 2014). (B) Mineral ternary plot comparing the Huai Hin Lat mudstones with American analogues (modified afterBrindle et al, 2015). Most samples lie outside either formation but the coaly mudstones are more comparable with the Barnett formation than the Eagle Ford.…”
