Record 7 2021-07-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
DEF

The impermeable rock overlying an oil or gas reservoir that tends to prevent migration of the reservoir fluids from the reservoir.

CONT

Oil and gas become trapped in the subsurface where there is a barrier formed by impermeable rocks, such as well-cemented lithologies, mudrock and evaporite beds. These impermeable lithologies are known as cap rocks. The hydrocarbons will find their way around the cap-rock barrier unless there is some form of hydrocarbon trap that prevents further upward migration.

OBS

All cap rocks are impermeable, therefore making the terms "impermeable cap rock" and "impervious cap rock" redundant.

Key term(s)
  • caprock

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
DEF

[...] barrière étanche [permettant] de sceller la roche réservoir, évitant par le fait même une dispersion du pétrole et du gaz naturel.

OBS

Comme les roches couverture sont toujours imperméables, le terme «roche couverture imperméable» est redondant.

Record 9 2015-02-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Deposits
DEF

A layer of gas on top of oil in an underground structure or reservoir.

CONT

When gas alone is used as the injected fluid, it is usually put into the top of the reservoir where gas normally collects to form a gas cap.

CONT

Gas not dissolved in oil as a result of high pressure will collect in the highest part of the reservoir to form a gas cap with the oil below it.

CONT

Gas(being the lightest) occupies the upper part of the reservoir rocks, water occupies the lower portion, and oil occupies the intermediate section. In addition to occurring as a gas cap or as a solution gas, gas may exist as an accumulation independent of the oil; when this holds true, the reservoir is called a gas reservoir.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gisements pétrolifères
DEF

Dans un gisement, gaz déjà séparé du pétrole et le plus souvent rassemblé au voisinage du sommet de la structure.

CONT

Le gisement peut [...] être surmonté par une poche de gaz (gas-cap) dont la capacité d'expansion est beaucoup plus grande que celle des liquides. Enfin, le gaz initialement dissous dans l'huile du gisement peut se dégager, sous l'effet de l'abaissement de pression, et former un gas-cap dans un gisement qui initialement n'en comportait pas.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

Subject field(s)
  • Storage of Oil and Natural Gas
CONT

Natural gas is most commonly stored under pressure in three different types of underground facilities. The most common type of storage facility is depleted oil and natural gas fields. Converting a field from production to storage has the advantage of existing infrastructure such as wells, gathering systems, and pipeline connections. The second most common type of natural gas storage facility is natural aquifers, which are frequently used in the Midwest. Natural aquifers are suitable for gas storage if water-bearing sedimentary rock is overlain with an impermeable cap rock but usually require more base gas than depleted oil fields. Caverns constructed in natural salt deposits are the third most common type of storage facility and are used primarily along the Gulf Coast.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Extraction Procedures - Various (Mining)
CONT

A method of blasting coal has been undercut, topcut, or sheared. Into one end of a seamless high-grade Mo-steel cylinder 2 to 3 inches in diameter and from 36 inches to 60 inches long is put a cartridge containing a mixture of potassium perchlorate and charcoal with an electric match. The other end is sealed by a metal disc weaker than the shell and held in place by a cap which has holes at about 45° to the axis of the cylinder. The cylinder is filled with liquid carbon dioxide at a pressure of 1, 000 pounds per square inch and inserted in the borehole with the cap holes pointing outward. The heating mixture is lit and raises the gas pressure so that the disc is sheared; the carbon dioxide escaping through the angular holes tends to hold the cylinder in place, break and push the coal forward.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés d'extraction divers (Exploit. minière)
CONT

L'abatage au gaz carbonique consiste à introduire dans un obus spécial du gaz carbonique liquide, puis à obtenir l'évaporation de celui-ci par une cartouche chauffante, jusqu'à cisaillement d'une pièce métallique qui permet au gaz de s'échapper de l'obus. La pression brise le massif. Le procédé appelé "Cardox" exige le havage. La manipulation des tubes qui doivent chaque fois être remplis au jour, le prix élevé de ses charges amorces qui n'ont jamais été fabriquées sur le continent (le Cardox est un brevet anglais) sont de sérieux inconvénients qui expliquent le recul et presque l'abandon du procédé dans les dernières années.
