Oil fields in the southern San Joaquin Valley; studied fields in red
Cumulative oil and condensate production as of December, 2006 (DOGGR, 2007)
Cumulative gas production as of December, 2006 (DOGGR, 2007)
Estimated gas reserves as of December, 2006 (DOGGR, 2007)
Structure of the San Joaquin Valley. NSB=Northern Sierran block; SSB=Southern Sierran block; NDH=northern Diablo homocline; WFB= westside fold belt; M-TS=Maricopa-Tejon subbasin (Bartow, 1991)
San Joaquin basin stratigraphic column (Scheirer & Magoon, 2007) Oil reservoir rock in green Gas reservoir rock in red Shale dashed lines
Typical sand and mud deposition in submarine fan turbidite systems (Henderson, 1987
Major reservoir formations in the southern San Joaquin basin, their depositional environments and lithologies
Potential Fields for CO2 Sequestration Based on potential storage capacity (pore volume), multiple target zones below 5000ft depth and presence of seals Elk Hills Belridge North Paloma
Elk Hills Discovered 1919 2,777 wells as of 12/2006
Pliocene contour map and cross section showing strucutre of Elk Hills anticlines (Fiore, et al., 2007)
Belridge North Discovered in 1912 1072 wells as of 12/2006
Structure contour map for the Oligocene of Belridge North (DOGGR, 1998)
Cross section and stratigraphy for Belridge North (DOGGR, 1998)
Extent of diatomite reservoir, North and South Belridge fields
Paloma Discovered in 1939 28 wells as of 12/2006
Structure contour map for the upper Miocene of the Paloma oil field
CONCLUSIONS Extensive regional shales and thick, lenticular sand bodies in multiple fields Based on potential storage volume estimated from pore volume for producing zones at >5000ft depth, candidate fields for CO2 sequestration include: Elk Hills Belridge North Paloma
