Lower Palaeozoic petroleum systems of the Baltic Basin in northern Poland: A 3D basin modeling study of selected areas (onshore and offshore)

Abstract: We have developed a Lower Palaeozoic petroleum systems analysis in the selected zones of the Polish section of the Baltic Basin (onshore and offshore), which we carried out to assess the potential of shale rock formations as unconventional reservoirs. The areas of the Baltic Basin, which we analyzed represent a diversity of shale formations burial depths and thus different advancement of sediments compaction and organic matter transformation. Methods of dynamic petroleum systems modeling were applied with a 3D… Show more

“…Simultaneously, in all zones of the Miocene basin used for comparison, the results point to the progressive reduction in the amounts of accumulated hydrocarbons, which implies their general dispersion within the basin. These conclusions are concordant with the natural gas seeps observed at the surface [35,38]. Moreover, the contemporary gas migration process (and dispersion) is demonstrated by the comparative analysis of gas generation, expulsion, and accumulation within particular sedimentary formations (next section).…”

“…These include: (i) Structural evolution of the basin, (ii) compaction processes, (iii) changes of thermal conditions, (iv) kinetic reactions, and (v) hydrocarbon generation, expulsion, migration, retention, accumulation, and dispersion [29][30][31][32]. However, in the last years, the modeling methods of petroleum systems, initially mainly supporting the exploration of conventional reservoirs, have also been adapted to analyze unconventional accumulations in shale formations and basins hosting microbial (biogenic) gas [33][34][35].…”

“…After many tests, it was found that the best results, due to the optimal number of clusters (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), were obtained for a maximum distance d max of 3.2 (two standard deviations from the set of standardized distances) for the furthest neighbor method and a d max of 4.8 (on the order of three standard deviations for the set of standardized distances) in the case of Ward's method. In this analysis variant, particular attention was paid to the mean R o values (within each cluster), allowing the classification of samples from a given cluster into one of the windows (gas, condensate, or oil).…”

“…The subject of research included: Cambrian sediments developed as detrital, sandstone and siltstone formations, Ordovician sediments developed as carbonate and loamy formations and Silurian sediments developed as graptolites. Above the Paleozoic rocks, there are formations belonging to other structural and tectonic units: Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary, and Quaternary [16].…”

“…The thickness of those formations in the study area are, respectively, 15 m and 21 m, whereas the average TOC content is in the range of 2.4%-2.7% and locally reaches 4.5% and 5.5%. The burial conditions and prevailing thermal regime resulted in the maturity level of source rocks in a range of 0.9-1.1 of vitrinite reflectance scale (% VR 0 ) [16][17][18] which allowed for the generation 2 Geofluids of liquid hydrocarbons and is consistent with thermal maturity of major producing shale oil plays in US [19][20][21].…”
