Regional Fluid Flow and Basin Modeling in Northern Alaska Regional Fluid Flow and Basin Modeling in Northern Alaska
The foothills of the Brooks Range contain an enormous accumulation of zinc (Zn) in the form of zinc sulfide and barium (Ba) in the form of barite in Carboniferous shale, chert, and mudstone. Most of the resources and reserves of Zn occur in the Red Dog deposit and others in the Red Dog district; these resources and reserves surpass those of most deposits worldwide in terms of size and...

CO2 storage capacity estimation: Methodology and gaps CO2 storage capacity estimation: Methodology and gaps
Implementation of CO2 capture and geological storage (CCGS) technology at the scale needed to achieve a significant and meaningful reduction in CO2 emissions requires knowledge of the available CO2 storage capacity. CO2 storage capacity assessments may be conducted at various scales-in decreasing order of size and increasing order of resolution: country, basin, regional, local and site...

A unified equation for calculating methane vapor pressures in the CH4-H2O system with measured Raman shifts A unified equation for calculating methane vapor pressures in the CH4-H2O system with measured Raman shifts
A unified equation has been derived by using all available data for calculating methane vapor pressures with measured Raman shifts of C-H symmetric stretching band (??1) in the vapor phase of sample fluids near room temperature. This equation eliminates discrepancies among the existing data sets and can be applied at any Raman laboratory. Raman shifts of C-H symmetric stretching band of...

Timing of hydrocarbon emplacement in ozokerite andcalcite lined fractures, Teapot Dome, Wyoming Timing of hydrocarbon emplacement in ozokerite andcalcite lined fractures, Teapot Dome, Wyoming
Teapot Dome, Wyoming, also known as National Petroleum Reserve 3, is a candidate for a national CO2 storage test site. The oil field in Upper Cretaceous sandstones at Teapot Dome was discovered in the 1880's based on surface occurrences of a waxy hydrocarbon, 'ozokerite', within calcite-lined fractures. The goal of this research is to determine if the hydrocarbons resulted from active (i...

In situ study of mass transfer in aqueous solutions under high pressures via Raman spectroscopy: A new method for the determination of diffusion coefficients of methane in water near hydrate formation conditions In situ study of mass transfer in aqueous solutions under high pressures via Raman spectroscopy: A new method for the determination of diffusion coefficients of methane in water near hydrate formation conditions
A new method was developed for in situ study of the diffusive transfer of methane in aqueous solution under high pressures near hydrate formation conditions within an optical capillary cell. Time-dependent Raman spectra of the solution at several different spots along the one-dimensional diffusion path were collected and thus the varying composition profile of the solution was monitored...

Geochemical investigation of the potential for mobilizing non-methane hydrocarbons during carbon dioxide storage in deep coal beds Geochemical investigation of the potential for mobilizing non-methane hydrocarbons during carbon dioxide storage in deep coal beds
Coal samples of different rank (lignite to anthracite) were extracted in the laboratory with supercritical CO2 (40 ??C; 10 MPa) to evaluate the potential for mobilizing non-methane hydrocarbons during CO2 storage (sequestration) or enhanced coal bed methane recovery from deep (???1-km depth) coal beds. The total measured alkane concentrations mobilized from the coal samples ranged from 3...
