Characterization of Upper Jurassic Organic-Rich Caprock Shales in the Norwegian Continental Shelf

Abstract: Characterizing the top seal integrity of organic-rich caprock shale is critical in hydrocarbon exploration and fluid storage sites assessment because the caprock acts as a barrier to the low-density upward migrating fluids. This study investigated the geomechanical properties of the Upper Jurassic caprock shales of various basins from the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Usually, paleo-deposition and diagenesis vary from basin to basin, which influences the geomechanical properties of caprock shale; hence, the sea… Show more

“…The deposition of the shale took place in an open marine environment characterized by restricted bottom circulation and frequent anaerobic conditions (NPD, 2023). The shale itself is composed of a dark gray-brown to black claystone, typically non-calcareous, carbonaceous, and occasionally fissile in nature (Johnson et al, 2022b;NPD, 2023;Rahman et al, 2022e). The reservoir sandstones (i.e., Sognefjord, Fensfjord, Krossfjord) exhibit good to moderate reservoir quality (Dreyer et al, 2005;Mondol et al, 2018;Fawad et al, 2021;Holgate et al, 2015).…”
