    摘要: Methods of the present disclosure may include obtaining an origin fluid having a calcium concentration of about 1.5 M or greater. A treatment fluid may be created by introducing an amount of slaked lime to the origin fluid to change a pH of the resulting treatment fluid to about 11 or greater. The treatment fluid may be introduced into a subterranean formation containing a formation gas comprising natural gas and carbon dioxide. The calcium in the treatment fluid may be allowed to react with the carbon dioxide within the subterranean formation to form calcite. The treated formation gas may be removed from the subterranean formation after the formation of calcite, wherein the concentration of carbon dioxide in the treated formation gas is lower than the formation gas before it was contacted with the treatment fluid.

    摘要: Embodiments provide a method for evaluating a hydrocarbon-bearing formation. The method includes the step of identifying a hydrocarbon sweet spot. The identifying step includes determining a carbon dioxide content of a gas sample retrieved from the hydrocarbon-bearing formation. The identifying step includes determining an isotopic signature of carbon dioxide of the gas sample. The carbon dioxide content of the gas sample retrieved from the hydrocarbon sweet spot can have a mole percentage ranging from 9 percent to 20 percent. The isotopic signature of carbon dioxide of the gas sample retrieved from the hydrocarbon sweet spot can have a δ13C value greater than −10 per mil. The identifying step can further include determining a cutoff range of the carbon dioxide content corresponding to the hydrocarbon sweet spot. The cutoff range can have a mole percentage ranging from 9 percent to 20 percent. The identifying step can further include obtaining a gas flow rate of the hydrocarbon-bearing formation. The gas flow rate can be greater than 10 million standard cubic feet per day.
