Si C Na Li Hg Pb Elemental Mapping of Marcellus Shale CoreSamples Using J200 LIBS Instrument There are numerous shale formations world-wide thathave oil and natural gas trapped within the tiny porespaces of the shale and are considered the largest naturalgas deposits. Although the production of hydrocarbonsfrom these deposits has increased drastically over thelast two decades, characterization of reservoir rock isstill a vital component in identifying best practices,and making engineering and production decisions inthe reservoirs. The knowledge of the mineralogy andgeochemistry of shale can predict potential drillingproblems and can influence decisions about drillinglocations. Determinationof shale elemental composition ISessential in providing clues to the rock properties(porosity, permeability, and presence of special minerals)that could affect oil and gas accumulation. Since thegas capacity of the formations can be correlated with the inorganic and organic constituents of the shale,a physical and chemical correlation between metalsand organic materials can be used to determine theamount of natural gas that is present in the shale rocks.Recent studies have linked the abundance of redoxsensitive trace metals to strata that are enriched inorganic material. Moreover, the C and H continents in theshale rocks can potentially provide an indication of thepresence of hydrocarbons in the shale gas formations.The rocks that contain higher amounts of carbon andhydrogen (organic material) appear to have greaterability to generate natural gas. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is anideal technique to provide rapid elemental informationof shale samples. Use of LIBS for shale core analysis isadvantageous because it enables rapid in-situ analysiswith little to no sample preparation and can providemulti-elemental analysis (including C, H, N, O) of agiven sample. None of the currently used techniques forshale core logging/mapping can measure all the aboveelements simultaneously and the analysis becomes time-consuming and expensive when multiple techniquesare applied to acquire these data. In addition, LIBS canperform both surface (spatial) and depth analysis of ashale sample. We highlight below the use of the J200 LIBS Instrument with multi-channel broadband CCD detector to rapidlydetermine the spatial variation of both organic and inorganic elements across the Marcellus Shale section. Thisstudy demonstrates effectiveness of LIBS to perform in-situ chemical characterization of shale samples from differentdepths.

An 8 mm x 8 mm area was mapped in both cases. Several elementssuch as Al, Ba, C, Ca, Fe, H, K, Mg, Na, O, Si, Sr, and Ti were detected and the LIBS data collected for some of theelements were used to construct 2D elemental maps for each sample. A representative map for Al corresponding tothe scanned area is indicated in Figure 1. Figure 1. Representative LIBS Al map for Marcellus shale sample. Figure 2 displays the elemental maps for Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, and Si for both shale samples. A visual comparisonindicates that the digital image for each element differs from one sample to the other. Although there is depth-relatedelemental variation for many elements, a prominent difference is observed in the distribution of Fe and Ca. TheseLIBS elemental maps indicate a depth-related variation in the mineralogy of these shale samples. Even within themapped area of each sample a heterogeneous distribution for most of the elements (Figure 2) is evident. A depthcomparison of both shale samples for C and H is presented in Figure 3.The sample retrieved from a depth of 7504'is enriched in both C and H as compared to the sample taken from 7551'. For quantification of these elements, the instrumentneeds to be calibrated. The Marcellus Shale samplescharacterized in the previous studies [1, 2] by ICP-OESanalysis were utilized as calibration standards. TheC and H analysis of these samples was performed atthe Western Kentucky University using the Leco CHNTrueSpec analyzer. Figure 2. LIBS elemental maps for Fe, Mg, Si, Al, and Ca forMarcellus Shale samples from two different depths. Figure 3. Comparison of C and H distribution and content for MarcellusShale samples from two different depths. The calibration standards were mapped along with the samples M7504 and M7551 and used to create calibrationcurves for all the elements. The elemental intensity maps were then converted to concentration maps. Theconcentrations of Al, Ca, Fe, Mg,and Si are presented in Table 1 and those of C and H in Table 2. A goodagreement in C and H values (in sample M7504) analyzed by LIBS and CHN analyzer ascertain the accuracy ofthe LIBS instrument (Table 2). It is clear from this study that LIBS is a powerful analytical technique for obtaining elemental composition ofshale samples. The data show how the spatial elemental composition varies as a function of the sample depthand location and illustrates the benefits of LIBS over existing analytical techniques. Table 1.

Based on C and H concentration provided by the J200 LIBS Instrument,the shale industry is now able to rapidly obtain a preliminary indication of the natural gas rich areas. Furthermore,information about the major elements that can be collected simultaneously allows determination of the mineralogyof those areas. Shale gas is primarily composed of methane, and H/C ratios can potentially predict the type ofhydrocarbons in shale gas deposits. The J200 LIBS Instrument provides new enabling analytical capabilities for theshale industry. References 1. H. Sanghapi,A. Bol'shakov, J. C. Jain, D. L. Mclntyre, C. Lopano, and R.E. Russo.
