Crude Oil
Hydrocarbon
•! Oil and natural gas are made of a mixture of different hydrocarbons.
•! As the name suggests these are large molecules made up of hydrogen atoms
attached to a backbone of carbon.

• During mid-Mesozoic times around 150 million years ago, conditions were just right to build up huge thicknesses of Black Shale.

The world’s main oil deposits all formed in warm shallow seas where plankton bloomed but bottom waters were deoxygenated

• Today, most plankton can be found where deep ocean currents rise to the surface • This upwelling water is rich in nutrients and causes the plankton to bloom • Blooms of certain plankton called dinoflagellates may give the water a red tinge

Black Shale = Source Rock
The Kimmeridge Clay is a Black Shale with up to 50% organic matter. It is the main source rock for the North Sea Oil & Gas Province.
Black Shale

Thermal Maturation (Cooking)

As Black Shale is buried, it is heated.
Kerogen
Gas
Oil
Organic matter is first changed by the increase in temperature into kerogen, which is a solid form of hydrocarbon
Around 90°C, it is changed into a liquid state, which we call oil
Around 150°C, it is changed into a gas
A rock that has produced oil and gas in this way is known as a Source Rock

•! Hot oil and gas are less dense than the source rock in which they occur •! Oil and gas migrate upwards up through the rock in much the same way that the air bubbles of an underwater diver rise to the surface

A magnified image of a sandstone. The rock sample was injected with blue-colored epoxy that is seen here filling pores which are interconnected (permeable). The sample is exceedingly porous and permeable. The grains are loosely packed and there is very little cement filling the space between the grains. The arrow indicates possible pathways for fluid movement.

Primary Oil Recovery
Uses natural pressure of the reservoir to push crude oil to the
surface
Allows about 5% to 10% of the oil
in the reservoir to be extracted Pumpjack, oil recovery on dry land

Secondary Oil Recovery
So after primary and secondary, ~50% oil remains in the ground
Injects water to drive the residual crude oil and gas
remaining after the primary oil recovery phase to the surface
wells
Allows additional 25% to 30% of the
oil in the reservoir to be extracted

Tertiary “enhanced” Oil Recovery
Tertiary recovery (average) about 25 %
Heat increases oil temperature;
Viscosity decreases; Easier to pump out.
