During the 1980s, hydrocarbons were logged in aquifers during drilling of conventional gas wells in the Woodada gasfield. The gasfield is located in the North Perth Basin in Western Australia. Using Fault Seal Analysis Technology, our goal was to test the hypothesis that faults in the Kockatea Shale that are currently being reactivated may be leak prone. Wells proximal to faults with a fracture stability of greater than 5 MPa logged only methane. Wells proximal to faults with a fracture stability ≤5 MPa logged both methane and condensate in aquifers confirming that hydrocarbon leakage is correlated with critically stressed faults. This assessment assumes that fault rocks in the Kockatea Shale, which is a regional source rock and seal, comprise uncemented phyllosilicate rock. For the normal stress case, faults oriented west-north-west with moderate dip have the lowest integrity. For the strike slip stress case, faults oriented north-west and west-south-west, with moderate to steep dip have the lowest integrity. If the Kockatea Shale fault rock is assumed to be a cemented phyllosilicate, then the fracture stability increases to 14 MPa for both the normal and strike slip case. In this case, Jurassic-Permian fault intersections may be contributing to hydrocarbon leakage, however, this would require numerical modeling for confirmation. Based on leak off tests, the increase in pressure required to hydraulically fracture the formation varies between 10.7 and 13.8 MPa. The treatment pressures used during hydraulic fracturing may potentially exacerbate leakage in areas such as the Woodada gasfield.
