Microbial Processes and Natural Gas Accumulations
Microbial processes are responsible for the formation, alteration, and destruction of some natural gas accumulations. Individual microbial gas accumulations may be significant (> 1 Tcf; trillion cubic feet or 28.3 billion cubic meters) and collectively account for more than 20% of the global gas resource-base, dominating in some individual basins. Often cited resource estimates do not effective...
متن کاملBattelle Pacific Northwest Division Gas Hydrates Assessment Assessment of Current Technologies for Producing Natural Accumulations of Gas Hydrate
Vast quantities of natural gas are held in hydrate form in geologic reservoirs in sub-oceanic sediments and arctic permafrost zones (KVENVOLDEN, 1988; SLOAN, 1998), where conditions of high pressure and low temperature are within the hydrate stability region. In 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a study to assess the quantity of natural gas hydrate resources in the United States...
متن کاملProcesses in microbial transport in the natural subsurface
This is a review of physical, chemical, and biological processes governing microbial transport in the saturated subsurface. We begin with the conceptual models of the biophase that underlie mathematical descriptions of these processes and the physical processes that provide the framework for recent focus on less understood processes. Novel conceptual models of the interactions between cell surf...
متن کاملCalculating Accumulations 1 Calculating Accumulations
The accumulation strategy consists of generalizing a function over an algebraic data structure by inclusion of an extra parameter, an accumulating parameter, for reusing and propagating intermediate results. It is one of the standard optimization techniques taught to functional programmers 13). However , there remain two major diculties in this accumulation strategy. One is to determine where a...
متن کاملRecognising biodegradation in gas/oil accumulations through the dC compositions of gas components
A large suite of natural gases (93) from the North West Shelf and Gippsland and Otway Basins in Australia have been characterised chemically and isotopically resulting in the elucidation of two types of gases. About 26% of these gases have anomalous stable carbon isotope compositions in the C1±C4 hydrocarbons and CO2 components, and are interpreted to have a secondary biogenic history. The char...
