“…During and after fluid migration in subsurface, including gas migration and entrapment in reservoirs, fluids 73 may be encapsulated as inclusions during mineral precipitation (Parnell et al, 2001). Despite the problems 74 of dealing with typically small and rare inclusions, and with the uncertainties involving extrapolation of 75 the results from small fluid samples to a basin scale, fluid inclusions are particularly useful in determining 76…”

Abstract:The Wufeng-Longmaxi organic-rich shales host the largest shale gas fields of China. This study 13 examines sealed fractures within core samples of the Wufeng-Longmaxi shales in the Jiaoshiba shale gas 14 field in order to understand the development of overpressures (in terms of magnitude, timing and burial) in demonstrate that the main cause of present-day overpressure in shale gas deposits is actually the 32 preservation of moderate-high overpressure developed as a result of gas generation at maximum burial 33 depths. 34 35

“…Progressively deformed autochthonous and mostly sedimentary strata ( Figure 2) generally represent relatively shallow, Fluid inclusions represent micro-scale samples of fluids, trapped during the evolution of sedimentary basins, and can be used to identify the composition of fluids associated with diagenetic and post-diagenetic fluid processes [5]. In petroleum systems, fluid inclusion data have been widely used to define hydrocarbon migration and charge histories, especially where there is a complex petroleum charge history (e.g., [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]). …”

The Use of Integrated Fluid Inclusion Studies for Constraining Petroleum Charge History at Parsons Pond, Western Newfoundland, Canada

This study, based on fluid inclusion petrography, microthermometry and ultraviolet microspectroscopy of inclusion oil, investigates the petroleum charge history at Parsons Pond, western Newfoundland. To address this matter, drill core and cuttings samples of allochthonous and autochthonous strata in the Parson's Pond area were collected from three exploration wells. Fluid inclusions were examined from fragments of calcite and quartz veins, diagenetic cements in sandstone, and in large hydrothermal dolomite and calcite crystals. Primary aqueous inclusions in authigenic sandstone cements indicate that cementation occurred at relatively shallow depths and low temperatures (<50 • C). Hydrocarbon-bearing fluid inclusions (petroleum, wet gas and gas) are generally restricted to calcite and quartz veins, indicating that petroleum and gas migration at Parson's Pond is fracture-controlled. No hydrocarbons were observed in the diagenetic cements of the essentially tight sandstones. Fluid inclusion microthermometry and ultraviolet microspectroscopy indicate the presence of multiple generations of hydrocarbon fluid, ranging in composition from 33 API gravity petroleum to pure CH 4 . Petrographic evidence suggests that hydrocarbons were generated multiple times during progressive burial and heating. In addition, the distribution of hydrocarbon bearing inclusions with depth suggests that deeper levels are gas-prone, with petroleum confined to relatively shallow depths. Although only gas flow was encountered during the drilling of exploration wells at Parson's Pond, the presence of petroleum-bearing fluid inclusions in calcite and quartz veins indicates that the historical production from shallow wells in the Parsons Pond area likely tapped small reservoirs of fractured petroliferous strata.

“…Homogenization temperature Homogenization temperature (T H ) of a particular petroleum inclusion refers to the minimum temperature of entrapment of the fluid in a formation (Parnell et al 2001;Parnell 2010). This specific temperature determination along with other geochemical methods limits possible sources and migration pathways (or/and direction) for diagenetic hydrocarbons.…”
