Geological factors affecting the grade and tonnage of sandstone uranium deposits

Holliman, K A 19 March 2013 (has links)
The largest known reserves of uranium are found in sandstone deposits, in the form of roll-front, peneconcordant and stacked types. Drilling on spacings of between 50 m and 5 m centres is the current method of attempting to delineate such ore bodies but because of the apparent random distribution of the mineralization there is a large degree of uncertainty in these predictions. Even on drilling grids of 3,5 m centres the uncertainty in predicting the distribution of stringer ore in roll front mineralization is still 100 per cent. (Sandefur & Grant 1980). Because of escalating costs it is becoming increasingly less economically feasible to delineate bodies of this nature in this manner and much more reliance will have to be placed on the geologist's interpretation of ore distribution when calculating ore reserves. The grade and tonnage of a sandstone uranium deposit can only be calculated with some degree of confidence if the processes forming the ore body are fully understood. The aim of this review is to examine the factors governing the formation and geometry of a sandstone body, the mobility and fixation of uranium and to establish criteria which will enable a more confident prediction to be made of the distribution of sand bodies and the distribution of the mineralization within them

Thermal and Diagenetic Evolution of Carboniferous Sandstones, Central Appalachian Basin

Reed, Jason Scott 25 April 2003 (has links)
The thermal and diagenetic evolution of Carboniferous sandstones in the central Appalachian basin has been resolved using various techniques. Paleothermometers including vitrinite reflectance and fluid inclusions indicate that burial of Lower and Upper Pennsylvanian strata of the Appalachian Plateau in West Virginia exceeded 4.4 km during the late Permian and occurred at a rate of ~100 m/m.y. Exhumation rates of ~10-30 m/m.y. from maximum burial to present depth were constrained using published apatite fission track and radiogenic helium ages. Quartz, lithic and feldspar-rich sandstones from different stratigraphic intervals and locations were sampled from core (95 %) and outcrop (5%) to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate sandstone diagenesis. A compositional multivariate data set compiled from point counts served as the basis for quantitative analysis of controls on sandstone diagenesis such as framework grain composition, paleoclimate and depositional environment. A priori groups (independent variables) corresponding to the controls were compared using digenetic products (dependent variables). Major conclusions of the analysis are, first, minerals that formed early appear to have been influenced by stratigraphic position. The distribution of siderite and iron-oxide/oxyhydroxide may reflect the second order paleoclimatic signature recognized throughout the Carboniferous, where siderite formed during everwet periods and iron-oxide/oxyhydroxide during semi-arid conditions, reflecting differences in redox. Second, framework grain composition controlled the distribution of diagenetic alterations and quartz cementation in the burial environment. Lithic arenites are deficient in authigenic quartz, yet have undergone various degrees of illitization. The quartz deficiency is attributed to compaction-related loss of primary porosity relatively early, which inhibited flow of silica-bearing fluids. Finally, no correlation can be demonstrated between depositional environment and diagenesis. Anomalously high fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures (> 215 °C) from Upper Pennsylvanian sandstones adjacent to the Alleghany Thrust Front indicate that tectonic setting played an important role in quartz authigenesis. The discrepancy between the fluid inclusion and vitrinite reflectance data imply that warm silica-bearing fluids, likely sourced from low-grade metamorphic reactions, were injected into Pennsylvanian sandstone aquifers during thrust loading associated with the Alleghanian orogeny. / Ph.

Depositional and Diagenetic History of the Permian Unayzah A Reservoir, South Haradh, Saudi Arabia with Implications for Deep Gas Exploration and Development

Althani, Lulwah Faisal 17 January 2014 (has links)
The Early Permian Unayzah A member in the Ghawar area of east-central Saudi Arabia is a prolific gas producer but is characterized by significant reservoir heterogeneity related to complex interbedding, on the scale of 5 meters or less, of eolian dune, sand sheet, interdune and ephemeral (playa) lake facies. Diagenetic products in Unayzah A developed during a continuum of eogenetic and mesogenetic reactions. Early or eogenetic cements are dominated by clay rims that formed at temperatures below 70oC. Oil migration along stylolites probably from Silurian source rocks occurred during the early mesogenetic stage followed by barite, quartz and carbonate cementation. Oil degradation at temperatures between 150o and 225oC produced acidic pore fluids that caused dissolution of earlier formed carbonates to generate secondary intragranular, moldic and micro pores. Thin, early clay and hydrocarbon rims as well as possible early microquartz cements inhibited cementation of primary intergranular pores that are only partially filled with quartz outgrowth crystals. Total porosity, including primary open pores, secondary pores, and bitumen-coated and filled pores ranges up to 27 percent. Reservoir quality and heterogeneity are a function of depositional environment and diagenesis in which eolian dune and sand sheet facies contain the highest total porosities and hence the best reservoir properties. Some previously recognized Stoke's surfaces are characterized by higher concentrations of quartz cement further compromising reservoir interconnectivity. / Master of Science
