- W2994911821 abstract "Summary The wettability of organic-rich mudrocks has a significant effect on multiphase-fluid flow and hydrocarbon recovery. This important rock property has still not been well-quantified in organic-rich mudrocks. Kerogen constitutes a significant fraction of mudrocks and can considerably affect their wettability. Recent publications suggested that kerogen wettability is affected by the thermal maturity of rocks and can influence the wettability of mudrocks. In this paper, we experimentally quantify the influence of geochemistry and thermal maturity of kerogen on the wettability of organic-rich mudrocks, and the influence of thermal maturity and chemical bonding on the wettability of kerogen. The wettability of organic-rich-mudrock samples at different experimental thermal-maturity levels was measured using the sessile-drop method, and also qualitatively estimated using a Flotation test and spontaneous-imbibition experiments on crushed-organic-rich-mudrock samples. The concentration of minerals in the mudrock samples was quantified using X-ray diffraction (XRD) at different experimental maturity levels. We then isolated kerogen samples from an organic-rich-mudrock formation and experimentally matured them. The variation in the chemical-bonding state of carbon present in kerogen at different levels of natural and experimental thermal maturity was determined using X-ray-photoelectron-spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. Finally, the wettability of pure-kerogen samples at different thermal-maturity levels was quantified using the sessile-drop method and the effect of aromatic carbon content on the wettability of the kerogen samples was determined. The sessile-drop test performed on the organic-rich-mudrock-rock samples showed a 5° increase in contact angle with a 96% decrease in the hydrogen index (HI). The Flotation test showed that the oil-wet fraction of the mudrock samples increases by 81% as the heat-treatment temperature increases from nonheated to 650°C. The water-imbibition measurements in crushed-mudrock samples suggest that the volume of water imbibed was higher by 22 cm3 at lower thermal maturity [i.e., HI of 328 mg hydrocarbon/g organic carbon (mg HC/g OC)] compared with mudrock samples at higher thermal maturity (i.e., HI of 10 mg HC/g OC). Results indicate that the thermal maturity of kerogen could potentially affect the wettability of mudrocks and that the mudrock has higher water wettability at lower thermal maturity of kerogen. The experimental results also demonstrated that the wettability of kerogen changes from waterwet to hydrocarbon-wet with an increase in the aromatic carbon content. The contact angle of the water droplet on the kerogen samples from Formation A increased by 78° when the aromatic carbon concentration increased by 19%. The results contribute to a better understanding of the effects of kerogen wettability and thermal maturity on the wettability of organic-rich mudrocks. The outcomes can also have potential future contributions in understanding flow mechanisms in organic-rich mudrocks as well as in developing reliable rockphysics models for the interpretation of borehole geophysical measurements [e.g., electromagnetic and nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) measurements] in organic-rich mudrocks." @default.
